Built by a Contractor Who Wanted Better Answers
Bathroom Builder exists because homeowners deserve honest, accurate renovation estimates — not vague ranges pulled from national databases.
The Problem We Saw
Every homeowner starts the same way: they search "how much does a bathroom remodel cost?" and get a range so wide it's useless. $6,000 to $35,000. That tells you nothing about your bathroom in your city.
The problem is that most online cost tools use national averages — a single set of numbers applied coast to coast as if renovating a bathroom in San Francisco costs the same as renovating one in Indianapolis. They don't account for local labor markets, material costs, or the economic realities of where you actually live.
We knew there had to be a better way.
A Design-Build Perspective
Bathroom Builder was created by a licensed contractor with a background in graphic design — someone who works in the intersection of aesthetics and construction every day. That combination shapes everything about this tool: it's designed to be visual, intuitive, and grounded in real-world building experience.
Operating a construction company in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area of California means working in one of the most expensive and logistically challenging markets in the country. That experience taught us that location is the single biggest factor in what a renovation actually costs — and it's exactly what other calculators ignore.
What Makes Us Different
Our AI pricing engine doesn't guess. It analyzes multiple real economic data points from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other authoritative sources — then calibrates every estimate to your zip code. The result is an AI-powered cost estimate that reflects where you live, not a national average that applies to nobody.
We combine this AI-driven pricing with a visual design tool that lets you plan your bathroom layout, choose fixtures, and see costs update in real time. You can experiment with different quality tiers, swap out materials, and understand exactly where your money goes before you ever call a contractor.
Our Mission
Renovation planning should be transparent. Homeowners shouldn't need to collect three contractor bids just to understand ballpark costs, and they shouldn't have to trust generic web content written for SEO instead of accuracy.
Bathroom Builder gives you a clear, AI-generated, data-backed starting point so you can plan with confidence, set realistic budgets, and have informed conversations with contractors when the time comes.
