Remodeling Tips & Ideas
 One
of the most popular home improvements is bathroom
remodeling. A remodeled bathroom will ensure increased
enjoyment of your home and its among the home improvements
with the highest return on investment.
Big Or Small
You and your budget decide how large you want your
bathroom remodeling project to be. You can install
countertops, light fixtures and accessories for under $1000
or if you want to do everything, you can spend from $7000 to
$30,000
One of the hottest trends in
bathroom remodeling is installing dual sinks, which adds
convenience. Also popular is installing a large bathtub with
water jets for long, soothing soaks. Large bathroom
remodeling projects often involve isolating the toilet area
from the rest of the bathroom, installing urinals or bidets,
and even enlarging the bathroom area by expanding it into an
unused room or closet. These new spaces can also be used to
install a new shower or steam room!
Get the spa treatment
Higher-end bathroom remodeling jobs are turning to spa's as
well. This definitely adds great value to your home while
adding comfort.
Many options to choose from
There are many options to choose from in a bathroom. You
have options to replace sinks, showers, bathtubs,
countertops, vanities, installing exhaust fans, heated
floors, and more.
Where Do I Begin?
First, you may want to start an ideas folder. Put in
clipping from magazines of features you may want. Then
prioritize items into things you “need” and things you
“want” - unless your budget is unlimited, then you only need
a “want” list. Next, decide if you want to keep the existing
floor plan or if you'll need to rearrange it or expand it.
If the floor plan will change, create a layout of your new
design on graph paper. At this stage you may need help from
a professional - architects, general contractors,
design/build firms or bathroom designers, depending on the
scope of your project
Professional Help
Your
bathroom remodeling contractor will be able to make
suggestions about the design and features and help you
prioritize the improvements. They will also be able to give
you a better idea of the costs involved and timeframes
needed to complete the work. At this point you will be able
to decide exactly what work will be done, secure financing
if necessary, and let the work begin.
