Major renovations mean knocking out the walls, re-doing the plumbing and all the tiling, and so on. It can get quite pricey, as there are a number of different professionals involved, and you can expect to double up on your minor remodel price to at least $20,000. So what’s the return?

The customers who you market your home to will certainly determine the true value of your renovations; demographics will determine how appealing your bathroom is and thus the return yield.
