If you’ve been thinking about renovating your bathroom, you might be wondering what the ROI is of investing in a bathroom remodel. How much can you expect to add to the value of your home with a bathroom remodel? We’ll look at the typical return on investment for a bathroom remodel nationally and here in Sacramento.
Are you planning to renovate your kitchen but confused about the trends to follow? In 2024, kitchen trends are more fascinating than ever thanks to evolution. The result is that the new kitchen trends are intended to produce more tranquil and comfortable environments that will endure the test of time, thanks to a renewed focus on natural materials, hues drawn from nature, like sage green, and subtle design elements that improve your time in the room. Here are six trends for 2024 that you need to follow and leave the old ones behind with the past year.
The quick answer is yes, you will add appraisal value to your home if you remodel your bathroom(s). The total amount you can recoup on a bathroom remodel depends on the size of the bathroom and quality of materials used.
A 2025 study by Journal of Light Construction (JLC) showed that homeowners in Sacramento would get a return on investment of about 80% on a midrange bathroom remodel, 40% on a high-end bathroom remodel, and about 60% on an ADA-accessible (Universal) bathroom renovation. These are almost identical to the national average for ROI on a bathroom remodel according to JLC.
A 2025 report by Zillow also showed that the national average for ROI on a mid-range bathroom remodel was 80%, and upscale bathroom renovations had a 42% return, and an Universal bathroom remodel yielded a 61% return on investment.
Upgrading your bathroom can make your home more attractive to potential buyers.
In competitive markets, remodeling your bathroom can give you a higher appraisal value. If your bathroom is currently out of date, or has obvious signs of wear and tear, investing in a remodel may help buyers choose your home and make an offer.
If you’re researching places where your bathroom remodeling budget can have the biggest impact, here are some features to consider.
Some homeowners will upgrade their standard tub to a shower enclosure. There are numerous styles, sizes, and features to choose from. Some showers come with modern design aesthetics and useful features like built in shelving. If you’re on a tight budget and already have a shower, swapping the old enclosure for a new one or upgrading the shower head to a luxury rain shower head can make a difference in buyer perception and practical utility.

One of the most important things you can do in your bathroom remodel is install a double vanity. Having two sinks, good lighting, a nice large mirror, and more storage space makes a big difference in the look and feel of your bathroom. Having two sinks also allows two people to get ready at the same time and have their own space for toiletries and personal items.
The lighting of a bathroom can affect it both positively and negatively. A dimly lit, poorly lit bathroom can seem dark and dreary, even after an expensive remodel. Adding stylish light fixtures and making sure the area is brightly lit can make your bathroom seem much more elegant and spacious. This is a small investment with a big return on appearances.
Changing the flooring can make your bathroom look luxurious. Many homeowners use wood laminate to give the bathroom an upscale aesthetic. Upgrading the tiles in your bathroom can also add to the aesthetic. Matching the color palettes to the shower, vanity, and other decorative elements can build a cohesive redesign that looks elegant and modern.
Imagine investing thousands of dollars into a bathroom remodel and not having proper ventilation. Without a proper fan and ventilation system, water vapor can’t escape and mildew and mold can form over time. Make sure you have adequate ventilation to reduce ambient humidity and port water vapor away from your bathroom.
There are a few things you should think about before investing in a bathroom remodel.
Bathroom renovations that require plumbing upgrades, structural changes, or use high quality materials will cost more than less complex renovations.
Custom cabinets and natural stone countertops will cost more than stock cabinetry and laminate countertops. Luxury sink and shower features make your bathroom look extravagant, but they cost a bit more than standard fixtures.
If your budget has constraints and limits, think about your wants vs your needs. Examine what your options are for features and upgrades. Talk to a remodeling contractor who can give you a visualization of what your bathroom will look like with certain features for a certain budget.
The last place in your home you should try to do-it-yourself is in the bathroom. Plumbing systems, electrical systems, flooring, lighting, tiling – there’s so much to consider and it’s better to call a contractor with remodeling expertise to make sure the job is done right the first time.
