Bathroom renovation projects continue to be one of the most popular renovations of all homes. It’s easy to see because nothing is more welcoming or more attractive than a well-equipped renovated bathroom.
Also, bathroom remodeling is a good investment if you plan to sell your home for years.
There is no magic to create the amazing bathroom that you want, and it can only be achieved by following the different steps in betterment. Here are 5 steps given below that you can follow:
Order Products Early
It’s super fun buying new bathroom products like vanities, sinks, faucets, toilets, light fixtures, shower heads, and tiles. But you must order these products as soon as possible. Nothing suddenly stops a renovation project like missing or out-of-stock products. Once a plumber or electrician leaves the job because there is nothing to install, there is no guarantee that it will be available when the products finally arrive.
Improve Ventilation System
There is a must need for a proper ventilation system more than any other room in the house. A ceiling fan or fan/light combination is the best way to remove steam, hot air, and unpleasant odors. (Wall fans are also available, but not as popular.)
It also helps towels dry faster, so they don’t smell musty. The growth of mold and mildew can also be prevented with the help of it. It is not tough to renovate the ventilation system comparatively.
Choose Suitable Surfaces For The Bathroom.
When choosing coating materials for your new bathtub, keep in mind that they must be suitable for installation in a bathroom. Bathroom floors, walls, showers, and countertops are continually exposed to hot, soapy water, and intense steam. These conditions are harsh on surfaces, but they also create slippery and potentially dangerous conditions for people.
Porcelain tile is possibly the best material for any bathroom floor. It is much harder than ceramic tile and comes in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns, including porcelain-look planks. However, when choosing floor tiles for a bathroom, the most crucial feature is slip resistance. The same goes for the tiles used in the shower area or the toilet room. Don’t even consider tiles that don’t have a non-slip surface
Plan For Surprises
As mentioned above, bathroom renovations are complex projects, so it’s not uncommon for an unexpected problem to arise. Until you open the walls, remove the dresser, and tear up the old floor, you cannot predict what you will find.
However, it can reduce your risk: When contractors come to bid, have them check for hidden signs of a problem. For a more in-depth evaluation, hire a home inspector or reliable bathroom remodeling contractor to check for damage or code violations.
Avoid All The Change Orders
Nothing will ruin your budget faster than changing orders. This involves any changes made once the budget has been established and after the start of work. During the remodel, you can experience a moment “while we’re at it” and request a change that is far from the original design. Try to avoid this as much as possible.
One of the best ways to cut costs and shorten the construction schedule is to avoid relocating plumbing pipes. Moving water supply pipes, vent chimneys, and drain pipes are expensive and time-consuming work.
