What Is the Typical Workflow for A Bathroom Renovation?

Share

Ah, the bathroom. It is a necessity for everyone and a sanctuary to many. It is a place where one can relieve oneself in a way that would be socially unacceptable in any other room in the house.

It is a place where you feel safe being naked, and where you go to get clean. It is the first place you go in the morning and the last place you go at night.

It is important to have a clean comfortable well-functioning bathroom in your home if you want to have a well-functioning life.

Every so often, a bathroom needs a renovation. It is always a good idea to leave bath remodeling to a professional contractor. It may be helpful for you to know the basic steps remodeling a bathroom will involve.

Figuring Out a Design

Before you hire a contractor, you will want to decide what the design of your bathroom will be. Are you happy with the basic layout of the room now, or do you want to change the position of the bathtub and the sink? Do you need a new shower, or do you just want to remodel the old one? Do you want to replace the entire toilet or just the toilet seat cover?

You will need to decide on a budget, and select the appliances that you want. When selecting your new appliances, you should take not only cost but quality, into consideration.

For instance, most people select fiberglass showers because they are relatively inexpensive, durable, and require little maintenance. If you are planning to live in the home after you remodel your bathroom, this may be the best option.

You should also take storage spaces under advisement when designing your bathroom. Think about where the toiletries and towels will go. Decide where you will put on your makeup in the morning and where a hairdryer will go.

Once you have decided on new appliances, you will be ready to hire a contractor. Be sure to hire one who is in good standing with your state licensing board, and who can provide you with plenty of references.
