Is $10K for a complete bathroom remodel unreasonable?

Yeah, you definitely want to spend what the house and neighborhood is worth. If you can do a $10k contractor job yourself DIY you could potentially make that a $15-20k upgrade value wise.

In the end you want to balance your personal taste with local real estate values and returns at the same time. Putting a $2k bath in a house in a neighborhood with $10k bath finishes isn't going to serve you well down the road unless you plan to live out your life in your current home.

I would have offered my services to help, we could have knocked it out over a few days and walked away with a couple complete LaRue rifles each! [UZI]
