How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Fargo and West Central MN?

If you're thinking about remodeling your bathroom in Fargo, Moorhead, or the Lakes Area of West Central Minnesota, one of the first questions you probably have is: How much is this going to cost me? While the final price depends on many factors, this guide will give you a realistic look at what to expect—and how to plan wisely.


๐Ÿ’ฐ Average Bathroom Remodel Costs in Our Area

Here’s a breakdown of average costs based on recent projects in the Fargo-Moorhead and West Central MN region:

Remodel Type

Estimated Cost Range

Small Powder Room Update

$5,000 – $10,000

Mid-Range Full Bathroom

$15,000 – $25,000

High-End Primary Bathroom

$30,000 – $50,000+

Luxury or Custom Remodel

$50,000 – $75,000+

๐Ÿ“ Local Insight: Homes around the lakes often need moisture-resistant materials and upgrades for seasonal living, which can affect both scope and budget.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What Factors Impact the Cost?

1. Size of the Space

Larger bathrooms require more tile, flooring, plumbing work, and cabinetry.

2. Scope of the Remodel

โ—      Cosmetic updates (new paint, fixtures, vanity) are less expensive.

โ—      Full gut renovations that move plumbing or walls cost more.

3. Materials and Finishes

Custom tile work, quartz countertops, and luxury fixtures add cost—but also long-term value.

4. Labor and Permits

Quality craftsmanship is worth every penny. In Fargo and the Lakes Area, contractors familiar with winter-proofing, seasonal cabins, or older homes may charge slightly more for specialized work.


๐Ÿšฟ Budget Tips from a Local Remodeler

  1. Focus on what matters most. A stunning vanity and shower can make a big impact, even if you keep the layout the same.

  2. Keep plumbing where it is. Moving sinks or toilets can double your plumbing budget.

  3. Ask about packages. We offer design-build solutions that help streamline both cost and schedule.

  4. Don’t forget the little things. Heated floors, towel warmers, and custom storage may seem small, but they add comfort—and cost.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Is a Bathroom Remodel Worth the Investment?

Absolutely. A well-designed bathroom can:

โ—      Increase your home’s resale value

โ—      Improve daily comfort and usability

โ—      Fix underlying issues like mold or leaks

โ—      Add energy-efficient upgrades (like low-flow toilets or LED lighting)

In many homes, especially lake properties and older houses in the region, bathroom remodels are among the highest-ROI improvements you can make.
