How much does it cost to add an extra bathroom?

Question

I would like to add a 2nd bath to our home. I am only looking for a half bath. Approximantely how much would that run?

Answer 1

Nessi if have the extra space to add half bath to your home with crawl space under it and you can  DIY the cost will not be that bad, I would guess under $500.00 for material.  It will cost $3000.00  minimum to hire plumber to do this job, depending on your area. the two biggest challenges will be   connecting the drain pipe into the existing drain, and venting it. The  Toilet, Sink, Water, and drain lines  are not that expensive.      You will also need to make drywall repairs and do some painting.

Answer 2

Of course this will vary regionally and seasonally.  What size were you thinking of?  Materials - what quality are you thinking of?  Is there easy access to the existing plumbing or would this new half bath need to have its own "stack" ?(in this case, dedicated sewer line.)  These are some of the many factors that you must consider before trying to estimate.

Answer 3

the big issue is plumbing. are there pipes near the location? get 3 estimates from local contractors.
