Remodeling costs

 Remodeling a home is quite expensive so I have to do it in phases.  When I first bought my home in Los Angeles, I began with the most urgent which was the bathroom.  I went with a general contractor.  I'm not skilled or have the time to do a bathroom so I hired someone to do it right.  In 2025, the cost to remodel a small bathroom with large tile pieces ran me over $30K.  The tile alone was about $5K.  

It takes about a month to complete the bathroom.

I went in this order:

1. Guest bathroom

2. Air conditioning

3. Windows

4. Ceiling repainting / tile flooring for the entire house

5. Kitchen

6. Exterior repaint and repair all stucco, install exterior electrical outlets.

7. EV charger

8. Master bathroom

9. Outdoor pergola


Future projects:

1. Carport for shade

2. Roof

3. Solar panels 


So far, I've spent around $200K with all the improvements and I'm slowly knocking everything off my list.
