What it costs
Primary bathrooms cost more than hall baths because they're bigger and usually get premium finishes. The 2025 Cost vs Value Report puts an upscale bath remodel in the Washington, DC area at $80,994. USA Cabinet Store's 2026 Fairfax County guide puts luxury bathrooms starting around $70,000, with spa-level projects past $115,000. Most Fairfax primary bath projects land between $70,000 and $120,000.

Common Fairfax layouts
Many Fairfax-area homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s have a primary bath with a large garden tub, a small fiberglass shower and a single long vanity. The most common change is to take out the tub, build one large tiled shower in that space, and add a second sink. Homes from the 1960s often have a small primary bath, and the question there is whether to borrow space from a closet.
How long it takes
Most primary bath remodels take about 5 to 8 weeks of work, plus lead time for the vanity, tile and glass.
Questions about primary bathroom remodel in Fairfax
Should I keep a tub in the primary bathroom?
If there's another tub in the house, most buyers won't miss it. If there isn't, keep one somewhere.
Are heated floors worth it?
For tile floors in Northern Virginia winters, most people who add them say yes. The mat goes under the tile and runs on its own thermostat.
Can we use the bedroom during the work?
Usually yes. The crew sets up dust protection between the bathroom and the bedroom.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The design visit and written estimate are free.
