Most people honestly have no idea how much it really costs to under go a renovation. People often ask us how much it will cost for a bathroom remodel, and our first question is usually “What would you like to do?” and our second is “What is your budget?”
Bathroom remodels continue to be one of homeowner’s priority projects to tackle on their “to-do lists and there’s a good reason for it. Homeowners get a high return on investment and of course, they help turn that blah bathroom into a personal sanctuary in the process. A newly renovated bathroom definitely gives the homeowner a competitive edge when trying to sell. Keep in mind that a bathroom remodel doesn’t just happen over night. As you may already know, it can be quite stressful. One of the best things you can do is plan ahead, do your own research and follow this simple guide to make the most out of your remodeling process.
Stage 1: Ask Yourself These Questions
Before you even start the planning procedure, you will need to consider asking yourself the following questions. This will enable you to make sense of what it is you are trying to accomplish, and how to get there.
- What is the main reason you want to remodel?
- How much storage will you need?
- How long do you plan on living in your home?
- What is your routine and how can your space be improved to function alongside of it?
- How much time do you spend in this bathroom space (in the morning, afternoon and evening hours?)
- How many people will be using this space?
- How often will this space be used?
- Who is this bathroom for?
Stage 2: Handle the “Why’s?”
Why are you remodeling? This appears glaringly evident, however you have to know the genuine reason before you can make any arrangements. There are commonly three principal reasons individuals need to remodel: refresh the look, make it more practical, or for resale.
In case you’re remodeling to refresh the look, you’ll likely simply be concentrating on materials, installations, and cabinetry. In case you’re redesigning for usefulness, you’ll presumably be gutting the entire space. In case you’re rebuilding for resale, you’ll need to do some research about the present market and patterns.
Stage 3: Do Your Own Independent Research
Before you lose track of what’s most important, you will need to do some of your own research. Consider whether you require a fundamental, mid-range, or full rebuild and set aside some time to make sense of the amount you’re ready (and capable) to spend. Collect inspiration for your redesign with pictures of bathroom formats you like, outlines you like, storage solutions you like, and the sky is the limit from there.
Stage 4: Get Advice (from an expert)
An expert will have the knowledge to help you with every one of the inquiries you may have in regards to your remodel. You can get a more practical viewpoint on the design, the materials, the fixtures, and so forth from a specialist who’s done this kind of work previously. Additionally, they can help you with creating a budget and help you to stick to it.
Stage 5: Planning
Now that you have an idea of what you can afford, what you require, and what you need, you can now move forward with planning your bathroom remodel. Work together with your contractor to come up with as many ideas as possible. Look at photos in magazines or social medial outlets like face book or pint rest for motivation, and ask as many questions as you need to. The last thing you don’t want to do is to settle with an unexpected choice on a material or style. You will also need to look into the permits you require (an expert can help you with this). Don’t be afraid to spend a considerable amount of time in this step, as it may be the most important one’s of all.
Stage 6: Review
In this progression, the goal is to get all the real components and spacing confirmed before moving ahead. Survey all drawings and designed floor plans with the format and size of its components with your contractual worker and set the agreement in writing. You’ll need to make sense of the majority of the remodel so that there are no curve balls when development starts.
Stage 7: Choices
Here’s the fun part! You get the opportunity to make choices about your materials, finishes, and colors. Assemble your motivation and ask your contractor any inquiries you may have with respect to specifics. Do as much research as you would so be able to you’ll make them work information when you approach this vital discussion. Here’s the decisions you have to make: bath, shading, ledges, fixtures, flooring, lighting, mirrors, shower, sinks, toilette, tile and vanities.
Stage 8: Essential Details
This is where you will want to get to the essential details on all the additional components in your remodel, like how things will flow, where you will be storing everything while development is in progress, how you will set up your space, what time the workers will be on site, and whatever else that may come up amid the construction process. Any last-minute decisions and inquiries need to take top priority here.
Step 9: Construction
Once all the decisions are made, the plans are drawn, and the papers are signed, it’s time to begin the construction process! Yippee! After many weeks of planning your bathroom remodel is finally here. In anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, your new sanctuary will be completed.
