Bathroom Remodel in Cumming, Georgia
A bathroom is the room your family touches first thing in the morning and last thing at night. When it's dated, cramped, or quietly leaking behind the tile, it wears on you in a way square footage numbers never capture. At Kade Homes & Renovations, we remodel bathrooms across Cumming and Forsyth County with the same care we bring to our custom homes — clean lines, honest materials, and a build that holds up long after the last contractor truck pulls out of the driveway.
This page walks you through what a bathroom remodel actually involves here in Cumming: the local realities, what it tends to cost, how long it takes, and how we work. No pressure, no gimmicks — just the information you'd want from a builder before you commit.
Why Cumming Homeowners Remodel Their Bathrooms
Cumming sits at the heart of Forsyth County, one of the fastest-growing parts of North Georgia. That growth shows up in the housing stock: a mix of established homes off Buford Dam Road and near Lake Lanier, and newer construction throughout the county's subdivisions. Both come with their own remodeling considerations.
Older Cumming homes often have primary baths that feel small by today's standards — a single vanity, a builder-grade tub-shower combo, and finishes that have simply aged out. Newer homes are frequently well-built but generic; homeowners want to replace the standard-issue fixtures with something that feels custom and personal. In both cases, the goal is the same: a bathroom that works better and looks like it belongs to you.
We handle the full range: primary suite overhauls, secondary and hall baths, powder rooms, and aging-in-place upgrades like curbless showers and reinforced grab-bar blocking.
What a Bathroom Remodel Costs in Cumming (2026 Directional Ranges)
Every bathroom is different, and the honest answer to "what will it cost?" is "it depends on scope." That said, here are realistic, directional ranges for Forsyth County and the surrounding North Atlanta market in 2026. Treat these as planning guides, not quotes — the real number comes from a walkthrough of your actual space.
- Powder room / half bath: roughly $8,000–$18,000. New vanity, toilet, lighting, flooring, and finishes. Costs climb with custom cabinetry or statement tile.
- Secondary or hall bath (full): roughly $20,000–$40,000. A full refresh including tub or shower, tile, vanity, and fixtures within the existing footprint.
- Primary bath — standard scope, existing footprint: roughly $45,000–$65,000. Dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, quality tile, and solid-surface counters.
- Primary bath — high-end or expanded suite: $75,000–$110,000+. Moving walls, relocating plumbing, freestanding tubs, heated floors, custom glass, large-format porcelain or natural stone, and specialty fixtures.
Those last two tiers are the two ends of the $45,000–$110,000+ primary bathroom range we publish in The North Atlanta Custom Build Index — this page just splits that range into the two scopes homeowners actually choose between.
These ranges are directional estimates for scoping conversations. Three things move the number most: whether plumbing and walls are relocated, the tier of tile and fixtures you choose, and what we find once the old surfaces come off — a topic we cover in depth in our companion article on what makes a bathroom renovation expensive.
How Long a Bathroom Remodel Takes
For a straightforward remodel that keeps the existing layout, plan on roughly three to five weeks of active work once materials are on site. Projects that move plumbing, expand the footprint, or involve custom orders run six to ten weeks or more. Permitting through Forsyth County and lead times on tile, glass, and cabinetry are usually what stretch a timeline — not the labor itself. We build those realities into the schedule up front so you're never guessing.
What Working With Kade Looks Like
We keep our process transparent and our job sites clean, because you're living in the house while we work.
1. Walkthrough and honest scope
We start in your actual bathroom, not over a phone screen. We listen to what's frustrating you, look at what's behind the walls where we can, and give you a straight read on what's realistic for your space and budget.
2. Design and material selection
We help you choose tile, fixtures, cabinetry, and finishes that fit both your taste and how the room will actually be used. Good design here prevents expensive changes later.
3. Detailed proposal and timeline
You get a clear, itemized proposal — scope, materials, allowances, and a realistic schedule. No vague line items, no surprises engineered into the fine print.
4. Craftsmanship and clean execution
Our crews treat your home with respect: dust control, protected floors, and tidy work areas at the end of each day. We build the waterproofing and substrate right, because the parts you can't see are what determine whether the bathroom lasts.
