I Added a Bathroom to My Home | Here's What I Paid

How do you add a bathroom to a home without adding a single square foot?

In this video, I walk you through exactly how we handled a bathroom addition during a full home renovation on a 100+ year old Victorian home renovation. This project was part of a real house flip walkthrough in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it turned into one of the most valuable layout upgrades we made. I break down how to add a bathroom, whether it makes sense to add a half bath, and how smart bathroom layout ideas and floor plan redesign can completely change how buyers experience an old house renovation.

This bathroom remodel and bathroom renovation was especially challenging because the home already had bathrooms, but none of them worked for modern living. I explain how flippers think about renovation planning, how we evaluated the existing layout, and how this interior renovation improved functionality without expanding the footprint. If you’re interested in house flipping, real estate investing, or learning how professionals approach remodeling tips that actually increase value, this video walks through the real decision making process step by step.

I also break down the bathroom permit process, construction strategy, and small bathroom design choices that helped this bathroom feel original to the home instead of something added later. From door placement and orientation to materials and finishes, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how before and after renovation decisions impact resale. This project is a great example of how adding a bathroom during a Bay Area house flip can dramatically improve marketability when done correctly.

If you are planning a bathroom addition, thinking about a bathroom remodel, or working through an old house renovation, this video will help you understand how experienced flippers approach layout changes, permits, and value creation in a competitive market.
