Grasp Bed room To Wheelchair Accessible Grasp Lavatory Conversion – How A lot Did It Price? (Price Breakdown And Sources)

I lastly had the chance to take a seat down and undergo 18 months value of receipts to determine simply how a lot our grasp bedroom-to-master rest room conversion value us. The entire cause we would have liked to do that conversion within the first place is as a result of Matt (he’s my husband, for these of you who’re new round right here) has M.S. and is confined to a wheelchair. So he wants a big rest room with loads of room to maneuver round, a wheelchair accessible self-importance, and a big, curbless, wheelchair accessible bathe.

So beginning again in the summertime of 2021, we employed a contractor and had him and his staff get to work. My household and I had already achieved the entire demolition on the room, so the contractor took the room from this…

…to this…

Getting the room to that time required transferring a wall to sq. up the room and provides us a rest room that’s 18.5′ x 12.5′. So the toilet is 231.25 sq. ft. That’s over twice as giant as my kitchen. 😀

So how a lot did it value to have the contractor do all of this work? Right here’s how these prices break down, together with the whole we paid out to the contractor.

Contractor Prices:

• Demoing and reframing hallway wall – $1,230.00
• Pocket door framing set up – $550.00
• Joist restore – $450.00
• Plumbing restore – $1,300.00

• Bathtub set up – $800.00

After the contractor completed his half, it was as much as me to take the room from what you see within the photograph above and switch it into this…

The entire venture took a year-and-a-half as a result of it was simply so intensive, and I bought overwhelmed with it on a number of events and needed to flip my consideration to different issues. Plus, last year was a very exciting year for us, filled with a whole lot of new and non-house-related things, so these issues took my consideration away from the toilet as effectively.

However I lastly completed the entire rest room in December 2022. Should you missed the entire earlier than and after submit, you can click here to see all of the pictures and details.

Among the many first tasks I needed to sort out within the room was the entire tile — the bathe partitions and flooring, the bathroom space flooring, and the primary rest room flooring. The bathe alone was a beast of a venture as a result of it’s so giant.

So right here’s how the entire tile and tile provide prices break down. I’m certain I’ve forgotten some issues, however they might be minor prices.

Tile & Grout

The most important problem on this complete rest room was constructing the walnut vanities and storage cupboard. It took me a really very long time to determine make the vanities wheelchair accessible with out making them appear to be wheelchair accessible vanities (if you realize what I imply). My remaining answer was to construct table-style vanities with loads of room beneath, after which add a storage cupboard between them to make up for the shortage of storage on the precise vanities.

I knew that constructing with walnut would value fairly a bit greater than constructing with a decrease grade lumber that could possibly be painted. I used to be anticipating the upper value, and prepared to pay it as a result of I actually needed walnut for this function wall, and that is our grasp rest room, so the added expense was value it to me.

What I wasn’t relying on was the price of the quartz counter tops. I imply…YIKES!!! Granted, of the samples that caught my eye, and that I introduced residence, I did go along with the costliest one. It’s the one I preferred probably the most, and I simply stored telling myself that it’s value it as a result of it’s our grasp rest room. I’m very glad I went with it, but it surely certain did blow that self-importance and storage cupboard funds out of the water.

I suppose it’s actually not unhealthy contemplating we’re speaking about walnut “furnishings” spanning a 12.5-foot wall. Right here’s how these prices break down.

Walnut Vanities & Storage Cupboard

All the plumbing fixtures actually added up as effectively. It’s very troublesome to seek out a whole line of matching fixtures to suit your actual wants and needs, however I ended up going with the Delta Trinsic line within the Champagne Bronze for the entire metallic plumbing fixtures.

Right here’s the breakdown of the entire plumbing fixtures for the room…

• Delta Trinsic hand shower, slide bar, and hose, champagne bronze – $250.62

About half of the lighting for the room is fairly customary — extremely skinny ceiling lights, gentle and exhaust fan combos. However then I needed some good sconces flanking the self-importance mirrors, and I needed a bubble gentle above the bathtub. I needed the bubble gentle to be an eye catching function within the room, so once I couldn’t discover one obtainable that suited my wants and my style, I made a decision to DIY my very own bubble gentle.

Right here’s how the prices of the entire lighting break down for the room…

Lighting

Had we achieved this rest room rework earlier than 2020, the price of the entire lumber, in addition to the French door, would have been about half of what I ended up paying. However lumber today is so costly! And while you’re doing wainscoting and plenty of trim in a very giant room, these prices add up rapidly.

I needed to undergo 18 months of House Depot receipts, which may get fairly complicated. So the price of the lumber and trim is the very best estimate I might give you.

Lumber & Constructing Merchandise

The primer, paint, and clear topcoat (used for cupboard drawers) is fairly customary in each room I do. However distinctive to this room is the Fashionable Masters Venetian plaster. I needed to combine the colour myself to get precisely what I needed, so sadly, I don’t have a components to cross alongside to those that have requested in regards to the colour.

I had achieved the same approach in my mother’s grasp rest room rework over a decade in the past (and it’s nonetheless stunning at the moment), however this was my first time working with the Fashionable Masters Venetian plaster. It value fairly a bit greater than latex paint, however I feel the ultimate look was effectively value the price. (Truly, it prices about the identical as Benjamin Moore Aura paint, so it’s equal in value to a top quality latex paint.)

Right here’s the price breakdown for the paint and different finishes for the room…

Paint & Finishes

Since this rest room is so huge, it wanted far more ornamental objects than a normal rest room may want. I did a butterfly gallery wall, constructed a big glass-front storage cupboard, put in a mural behind the tub, and so forth.

I didn’t put each little factor on this record. I attempted to maintain it to the primary bathroomy stuff. So right here’s how the prices of the ornamental objects break down…

Ornamental Gadgets

This remaining class was, by far, the toughest class to determine. I attempted my hardest to separate these issues that have been bought particularly for the toilet (sandpaper, caulk, wooden filler, sanding discs, blades, and so forth.) from these issues that I bought whereas engaged on the toilet, however can use for a lot of different tasks down the road (just like the set of gap noticed attachments for my drill). So that is simply my greatest estimate, however I feel it’s fairly shut…

Miscellaneous

• Miscellaneous provides – $650.00 (estimate)

And that’s it! So how a lot did this large venture — turning a master suite into an enormous wheelchair accessible rest room value?

GRAND TOTAL: $40,868.79

That’s a big quantity to pay for one room. I’m very effectively conscious of that. 🙂 However in the entire scheme of issues, I’m fairly happy with that value. (Bear in mind, this is among the causes we purchased a home that solely value $80,000. We needed to have the ability to totally customise it to suit our wants, and to sort out every room as we saved up cash for it in order that we wouldn’t be taking over an enormous mortgage and losing 1000’s upon 1000’s of {dollars} on curiosity. This fashion, we do it on our timeline, accrue no debt, pay zero curiosity, and have precisely what we would like ultimately.)

Contemplating how giant the toilet is, and the way open and helpful it’s for my wheelchair-bound husband, I feel it’s value it. And contemplating that we’re post-pandemic, and every part prices far more than it did pre-2020, that’s simply the best way issues go today. All the things prices extra, and there’s actually no approach round that.

I’m very glad I DIYed half of the room myself, although. I’m fairly certain that quantity would have been nearer to $60,000 (or extra) had I employed out each final little bit of this room and hadn’t achieved something myself. So though that remaining quantity is kind of giant, I’m very assured that I saved us fairly a big chunk of cash with my DIYing. And that’s cash that may go in direction of ending up my studio with all of that customized cabinetry that I must construct!
