As exciting as remodeling your bathroom can be, it can feel a bit like stepping into the unknown. Even the best-laid plans rarely get executed exactly on schedule, especially when you’ve got a lot of variables factoring into the project. That said, laying out your plans as thoroughly as possible will go a long to setting a timeline you can rely on.
A bathroom can be a quick, in-and-out space or a luxurious room to relax in the tub in order to remove the stressors of the day. How you chose to use your bathroom and a few other factors will help you what to consider first when you start planning a bathroom remodel.
By the time you decide to take the plunge and renovate your bathroom, chances are the project has already been simmering in your mind for some time. You can already envision your dream bathroom as if it was already there.
But once the choice is finally made to get started, it’s important to set expectations around how long everything will take. If you do decide to do things the old-fashioned way, through a general contractor, the process can be broken into a few stages, each of which you should carefully consider.
No two bathroom renovations are the same. Neither are two timelines. Therefore, the average time to remodel a bathroom really varies, depending on the type of project and materials you’re looking at.
Remodeling your bathroom is a rewarding experience. Adding your own style to a space that you use everyday can pay dividends in personal satisfaction and your homes’ market value. However, these benefits are only fully realized if you manage to avoid some of the most common bathroom remodel problems.
You’re finally ready to turn your renovation dreams into reality, but what now? Traditionally, the next step would be to hire a designer and contractor, each equipped with their own teams and spheres of work. This strategy, known as “design-bid-build,” appoints the owner of the project as its leader and middleman between multiple points of contact.
At one point or another in any remodel chances are you’re going to ask what seems like a basic question with a surprisingly unclear answer: “Do I need an architect to get this thing done?”
Having an architect or designer guide your home improvement project would be a no-brainer if you had access unlimited resources. There’s no real downside to having a professional designer take a look at your specific space if you’ve got the means to pay for it.
Kitchens and bathrooms are two rooms are absolutely necessary to everyday life, and if you are going through a home remodel that includes one or both of these rooms you’re going to need to figure some things out. Here, we’ll take a look at how long and where you should plan to stay during your renovation.
Once you’ve determined a bathroom renovation is right for your home goals and budget, you’ll need to consider a layout. Looking at your current bathroom is not the way to begin but there are simple ways to choose the right bathroom layout for your new space. Just take simple measurements first.
