BATHROOMS

JUST 5 more minutes

When it comes to the bathroom, there are so many areas to focus on, but when you consider the abundance of benefits a remodeled bathroom offers, the decision is much easier.

​

The advantages of bathroom updates have a wide range whether you are staying there for the long haul or looking to sell in the near future. If it’s storage, efficiency, appearance or increasing home value, remodeling your master or common bathroom provides an endless array of benefits for you, your family and your guests.

​

Considering that the kitchen and bathroom are two of the most common rooms to remodel, home buyers will look at these rooms first. They almost always check your bathroom as thoroughly as any other room in the house. They are going to check the water pressure. They are going to check around the toilets. They are going to check the lighting and natural sunlight that comes through in the morning and they are going to look at it all so you better have a “wow” factor before putting it on the market.

​

On the other end of the spectrum, if you are staying in your home, you want your bathroom to have a personal touch. This is the only room you will probably step into every day (we hope, unless you are on vacation), so it should feel and look as comfortable as your master bed. If you are choosing to update your master bathroom, feel free to step on the creative side. Not many outsiders will be viewing this part of the household so you have the creative freedom to make any update you ever imagined. Don’t be shy when it comes to perhaps the most trafficked room in the house.

WHAT TO ASK A CONTRACTOR?

ARE YOU LICENSED AND INSURED?

Don't be afraid to ask to see the proof. Thinking you're not liable for an uninsured subcontractor who gets injured in your home is something you don't want to find out after the fact. â€‹

​

CAN I GET IT IN WRITING?

Don't agree to anything unless it's in writing and the terms are clear. More important, don't pay anyone until you do. 

​

WHO ARE THE SUBCONTRACTORS THAT WILL BE IN MY HOME?

Make sure everything is presented to you on how your project will move forward and ultimately  be completed.

​

DO YOU HAVE ANY SHOPPING DISCOUNTS?

Most contractors get a percentage trade discounts on appliances. Only good contractors will offer you this discount as a courtesy. 


WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE?​

This is by far the most challenging aspect for contractors. Getting back to you on your questions, meeting your expectations and just showing up to the project.
