5 Tips To Make Your Bath Remodel Go Smoothly
Your remodeling contractor wants you to be as prepared as he is for your bathroom project! Having some idea of what to expect during and with the final project contribute to a positive outcome.
Put down on paper a general plan of what you want or collect pictures of vanities, shower surrounds or tubs that you like. Have a color scheme in mind and think about who uses this bath the most. If this is your only bath plan for it being out of commission for a few days or even weeks if it is a large project! Ask your remodeling contractor and they may have some ideas for you…..
What is the goal of this project? A facelift- just a cosmetic update of the fixtures or a complete remodel? Do you want to make more room in the bath? Add a double vanity or more storage space? Do you want a spa-like feeling, large soaker tub or a walk in shower- for accessibility?
Have realistic expectations – plan your budget for your bath project equal to your expectations of what you want. A great tool is the Cost VS Value report put out each year. This gives you a general average for many home remodeling projects in your area.
Review the design and plan with the contractor and get any questions you have answered before your bathroom remodeling project starts. Changing your mind or delaying decisions will cause your project to take longer. Also, most changes in product or add ons will be just that - an “add on” and cost more
Leave the experts to their jobs! Don’t buy your own materials; contractors get special pricing on higher quality contractor grade products. Most fixtures at the big box store are not of the same quality. Also, once the job starts please let the contractors do their job! It’s ok to ask for a progress report and you should get an update at the end of each day. Most contractors want to be polite and courteous so if you interrupt them to chat – they will. If you want to have the job done quickly and efficiently let them work!
Remember your contractor wants your bath remodeling project to go just as smooth as you do! Happy remodeling customers equal good reviews and referrals. Let's get started.
