Galvanized drains, rot at the toilet flange and shower corners, tile on a mortar bed, plaster walls and no power in the wall: what a Columbus demolition day turns up, and what becomes a change order.
Most homeowners walk into a bathroom remodel thinking the big-cost decisions are tile selection, vanity tier, and what the shower glass looks like. Those decisions matter.
A bathroom renovation in Columbus can cost $6,000. Or it can cost $75,000. Both numbers describe real projects finished in central Ohio this year. The range isn't about contractors charging different rates — it's about scope, materials, layout, and what's behind the walls when demolition starts.
