Bathroom remodeling in Greene, Maine, priced per bathroom, in the town center, along the commuter routes, on the farms, and around Allen Pond.
Greene's newer commuter housing has bathrooms that work and simply look dated, which is the least expensive project on this page. No structural work, no plumbing moves, no surprises under the floor.
That is the $12,000 to $20,000 territory for a small room. The older farm properties are the opposite and belong in the gut band, $25,000 to $35,000 once tile work is extensive.
Finish Levels, and What Each Costs You
Room size sets the starting point. The contents decide the rest.
If you’re on a well, spend money on valve quality before the vanity. Cheap cartridges don’t mix well with mineral-heavy water in a newly finished room.
Builder grade. A stock vanity, a molded tub and surround, ceramic tile, and standard valves. The least expensive route to a finished room.
Mid range. A semi-custom vanity, porcelain floor and wall tile, a tiled shower with glass, a quartz top, and name-brand valves.
High end. A custom vanity, stone counters, a curbless tiled shower, designer valve trim, and heat beneath the floor.

How Much a Bathroom Remodel Costs in Greene
Each figure covers one bathroom. A two-bath project requires two budgets. The typical floor for a small bath with simple updates is about $12,000. Better finishes can bring the same room close to $20,000. A medium bathroom generally costs about $15,000. At the upper end, expect $20,000 to $22,000. Updates to a larger bathroom range from $18,000 to $25,000. If damage requires a full gut and extensive tile work, add $8,000 to $10,000. That puts the job between $25,000 and $35,000. Greene often falls in the lower half of those ranges. Access is easy, and there’s usually enough staging room without renting space. Six factors determine the total. We settle all six before quoting. You receive a breakdown by trade.
Vent stack.
Rural venting frequently needs redoing before another fixture can be added.
Subfloor.
Older farm properties flex, and tile will not survive a floor that moves.
Rot.
Usually found at the flange or behind a tub surround once demolition begins.
Moving plumbing.
Every relocated fixture costs more than the one left where it is.
Tile versus surround.
A tiled shower carries far more labor than a molded unit.
Septic capacity.
With no public sewer, the field decides what the house can support.

The Order of Work on a Greene Bathroom
- Nothing gets quoted sight unseen.Greene houses are mostly farm and commuter builds on their own septic, so we open the conversation standing in the room, looking at the floor, the flange and the stack.
- An itemized contract.Fixtures, tile, vanity, glass, plumbing and electrical each carry their own line, plus a written allowance for subfloor and framing repair.
- Demo is when the house tells you the truth.Anything found gets billed at the rate already written into the contract.
- Plumbing and wiring roughed, then inspected, then waterproofed.That order is not negotiable and it is what makes the tile work last.
- Tile, fixtures, glass and trim.Glass is templated after the tile is set, which is why it always arrives last.
- A written punch list, worked to zero.Then 2 years of workmanship coverage behind it.
