Upgrading your bathroom to meet your growing family’s needs and preferences can be stressful, if not challenging. With hardly any shortage of decisions, it helps to plan this project carefully with the professional guidance of a trusted and experienced contractor. This way, you can navigate through the entire process with as minimal stress as possible. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind.
Assess Your Needs and Preferences
Before considering which floor tiles and other elements to incorporate into your bathroom remodel, you need to first make a list of your needs and preferences. Making this assessment helps in determining the scope or extent of the project. For instance, if the bathroom is within a master suite, consider adding double sinks or shower areas if you have the space. But if it’s for children, low-maintenance and durable materials are always worth investing in.
Stay Within Your Budget
The project manager typically estimates how much it will cost to remodel your bathroom. However, you still need to monitor the overall budget so you know how and where it’s being spent. Look closely at not just the cost of materials but also the shipping, delivery and installation. And just like any other interior and exterior remodeling project, you must set aside between 10% and 15% of your budget for unexpected repairs and costs as a precaution.
Follow Your Schedule
You should inform your contractors about how present you’ll be during the bathroom remodeling process. They should be aware of whether you work from home or leave for work during the day. Before they begin construction, they’ll typically place temporary walls around the bathroom space to minimize disruptions. If you’re remodeling the only bathroom in your home, you may need to stay somewhere else until the renovation is done.
