Bathroom Remodeling FAQ

There are several elements to consider when designing your bathroom remodeling project. The amount you invest in each particular element is dependent on your personal preferences. Some homeowners may value additional storage space. Others may prefer a larger tub. However, certain upgrades will help to improve the value of your home more than others.

• Cabinets — Cabinets are normally one of the best returns on investment when remodeling your bathroom. Every homeowner is looking for additional storage space and added cabinet space in the bathroom is a great feature for potential homebuyers.
• Granite or Quartz Countertops — Luxury countertops made from granite or quartz add style and luxury to your new bathroom renovation. New countertops are always a must-have for homeowners and buyers.
• Sinks — Finding the right sink to fit your space is essential. There are various options that may increase the investment, including installing him-and-her sinks for your master bathroom.
• Handles — The right handles add the finishing touch to your bathroom remodeling project and can tie the whole room together.

There is no tried and true timetable for a bathroom remodel as it can vary substantially depending on the extent of the remodeling project. Simple appliance replacements, such as sinks and toilets, may only require a day or two. However, if you’re doing a complete remodel, your contractor may have to move walls and electrical outlets, which could extend the timetable to weeks or months. Luckily, most contractors can give you an accurate timetable for your remodeling service. Choose a reputable and licensed remodeling contractor to ensure the best results!

The beauty of a bathroom remodeling project is that it can be customized entirely to suit your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. However, it may be more convenient and cost-effective to complete your bathroom remodeling project all at once instead of in phases. A licensed and experienced remodeling contractor will work within your budget, timetable, and needs to transform your bathroom. A full bathroom remodels normally includes the following:

• Shower/Tub Replacement
• Lighting Installation
• Flooring Installation
• Cabinets Installation
• Countertops Installation
• New Faucets
• Vanity Replacement
• Toilet Replacement

A bathroom remodel can be a rather large interruption for homeowners. However, ensuring that you and your family are prepared for your bathroom remodeling is essential for a smooth project timeline. Being prepared will not only allow your contractor to keep within their deadline but will also provide you with a sense of confidence throughout the process.

We recommend that homeowners follow these easy tips to ensure a straightforward remodel.

• Have a Plan — You don’t have to know every last detail of your new bathroom remodel. However, before you call a contractor, you may want to have an idea of the style and general layout of your project. This will allow a contractor to provide you with an accurate timeline and estimate to ensure you’re satisfied. If you’re feeling uninspired, check out some home magazines or websites for ideas!
• Clean the Space — Most contractors will not clear the bathroom space. If you want them to start working right away, you can begin clearing out your bathroom by removing toiletries, furniture, and anything else that may prohibit the contractor from working effectively.

You may find that your soaking tub is hardly used and instead want to increase the square footage or add additional features. Many contractors can remove your soaking tub from your master bathroom if you no longer need it.

Reglazing or refinishing your bathtub is an affordable and effective way to breathe new life into your tired old bathtub. For DIYers, it’s a reasonably inexpensive and straightforward project. However, an experienced and licensed contractor can help with the process, as well. Refinishing is ideal for bathtubs that have a few scrapes and scratches but are in generally good condition. If your tub is in really bad shape, you’ll probably be happier replacing it.

Homeowners are always looking to maximize every inch of their homes. There is no limit to what you can do with any extra space you have because of a bathroom remodel. It’s an excellent selling point, and you’ll have a place to hold your towels, extra toiletries, or cleaning products.
