Bathroom Remodeling
Remodeling a bathroom is a great way to maximize your return on investment. A typical bathroom remodel will give you an 80-90% return. If you live in a home with only one bathroom, you might consider adding an additional full or half bath somewhere in your home. This will dramatically increase the resale value of your home.
Custom Bathroom Remodeling in Richmond
A clear, professional process that delivers high-quality results without delays, cost overruns, or contractor headaches.
Most bathroom remodels fail for predictable reasons: Contractors disappear or delay your project, Budgets spiral out of control, Communication breaks down or the Final Result doesn’t match your vision.
We specialize in full-service bathroom remodels. That means:
- Complete project management from demo to finish
- Skilled craftsmanship—not shortcuts or patchwork
- Clear timelines and structured communication
- A result that adds long-term value to your home

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel actually cost?
Typically the investment will range from $7,000–$11,000 for half baths and $20,000–$30,000 for a standard full bathroom. Large, primary bathrooms may be $55,000–$70,000+. The quality of finishes is a significant factor in determining the budget.
What are the biggest cost drivers?
Changing the layout requiring the relocation of walls, plumbing and electrical can increase the budget significantly but will also create the most impact. With such a wide range of price points for countertops, tile and fixtures the cost can add up quickly.
How much should I set aside for an emergency contingency fund?
Reserving 10% to 20% of your total budget for unexpected issues is recommended. Once the walls are opened hidden water damage, mold, inadequate plumbing or outdated electrical wiring are some of the surprises that may be discovered.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A refresh can take 1 to 2 weeks, while a full gut with a custom design typically takes 4 to 8 weeks of active construction depending on size and inspection schedules.
Can I still live in the house during construction?
Yes, but if it is your only bathroom, it may be difficult as you may not have access to a toilet or shower for a majority of the remodel. Homeowners in this situation usually find it more convenient to stay somewhere else. We will have all the materials on site before demolition begins to facilitate the shortest turn around possible.
Do I need a building permit for a bathroom remodel?
Simple updates like changing out the vanity, flooring, tile, or replacing existing fixtures do not require a permit. If structural walls, plumbing or electrical will be moved or added the local jurisdiction requires permits.
Featured Projects
I recently had my master bathroom remolded by A. Leigh and am very pleased with the results. Aaron was prompt when he was scheduled to work and called when he would be delayed. He was professional, courteous and respectful of my home. I would definitely use A. Leigh Construction again.
