What Will Your Project Cost?
Answer four quick questions and get a realistic cost range based on typical Twin Cities pricing in 2026. It takes less than a minute — and it is free.
1. Project type
What are we installing?
2. Tile area
How many square feet of tile?
A typical 60″ tub alcove is about 55–70 sq ft of tile (walls + shower floor).
3. Material tier
Tile material level. Labor stays the same — the tile itself moves the number.
4. Optional extras
Add what applies. Unavailable options are greyed out for the selected project.
How this estimate is built
No black box. Three honest components, each with a range — because every project lands somewhere between straightforward and complicated. The same line items are broken down in our Twin Cities bathroom remodel cost guide.
1. Tile & installation
Your square footage multiplied by 2026 labor rates (floors $6–10, walls $10–15, backsplash $12–20 per sq ft) plus tile material at your chosen tier.
2. Project base
Fixed scope costs: demolition, surface prep, waterproofing, shower-pan build, and fixture installation — the work that does not scale with tile area.
3. Selected extras
Plumbing moves, glass, radiant heat, and extra demolition, each priced from current Twin Cities market ranges.

Why does a full bathroom remodel show less than typical GC quotes?
This tool estimates the tile and installation scope. A full general-contractor-managed remodel — plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, permits — typically runs $15,000 to $30,000+ in the Twin Cities. Northline specializes in the installation scope and coordinates with licensed trades where required.
Does the estimate include permits?
No. Permit requirements and fees vary by city and by who holds the project contract. We will identify what your project needs when we discuss the scope.
Which areas do you serve?
Based in Ramsey, MN — serving Anoka County and the Twin Cities metro.
