Full Bathroom Remodel in Roanoke, VA

Complete bathroom renovation, the room taken down to the studs and rebuilt.

A full bathroom remodel takes the room down to the studs and rebuilds it. New layout options, new plumbing rough-in, new electrical, new tile, new fixtures, new vanity, new lighting. The scope is bigger than a facelift, but so is the result. Most Roanoke full remodels land between $18,000 and $42,000 depending on size, fixture selections, and whether structural or plumbing changes move the walls. The single largest cost fork is whether the plumbing stays where it is: everything else is a choice between materials, and that one is a choice between two different jobs.

What the work involves

  • Full demolition down to studs, hauled and disposed properly
  • Plumbing rough-in updates, including PEX repipe where needed on older Roanoke homes
  • Electrical updated for the new layout, GFCI outlets, dedicated circuit, better lighting
  • Waterproofing and tile installation per TCNA guidelines
  • Vanity, countertop, and fixture installation
  • Full-height tile showers, or a standard alcove tub where a tub is staying
  • Scope set before demo, since what is behind a pre-1980 wall is unknown until it is open

Common questions about full remodel

What decides how long a full bathroom remodel takes?

Three things, none of which is how hard anyone works. Tile takes as long as thinset and grout take to cure, and curing is chemistry rather than labor. Custom vanities are made after they are ordered. And a stone or quartz countertop is templated against the vanity only once the vanity is standing in the room, then fabricated, then delivered, which is why the countertop is so often the last thing anyone is waiting for. Scope moves the number too, but those three set the floor.

What does a full bathroom remodel cost in Roanoke?

Most full bathroom remodels in Roanoke and the surrounding valley land between $18,000 and $42,000. A modest hall-bath refresh with mid-grade fixtures runs $18,000 to $24,000. A primary bath with a tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and mid-grade selections runs $28,000 to $38,000. Larger primary suites, custom tile work, or spa-style layouts with a soaking tub and separate shower run $38,000 to $60,000 or higher. The scope of demo, whether plumbing walls move, and your finish selections drive most of the variance.

Can you keep the existing plumbing locations to save money?

Yes, this is one of the biggest cost decisions on any remodel. Keeping the toilet, tub, and vanity in their current positions typically saves $3,000 to $6,000 versus moving them. A good walkthrough marks what would need to move versus what can stay. If the current layout works, keep it. If it fights the way you use the space, moving the plumbing is usually worth the money.

What kind of warranty should I expect?

Workmanship warranties in this market typically run one to two years on installed materials and finishes, in writing. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, cabinetry, and countertops pass through directly to you at delivery. The terms that matter are what the warranty covers, how long it runs, and what triggers a callback, and all three belong in the written quote.
