5 Steps to The Perfect Bathroom Remodel <\/b><\/p>\n
Millennials are in the home buying market and they like new, modern and efficient. If you haven’t gotten a new tub or updated the fixtures in the last several years, chances are your bathroom is not going to be eye catching (at least not for a good reason) for people looking to purchase a home.<\/b><\/p>\n
If hiring a professional contractor isn’t in the plans for your bathroom remodel, there are 5 steps you can take to ensure that you complete the perfect bathroom remodel without any hiccups or hangups.<\/p>\n
1. Establish a Budget-<\/b> Before diving in and ripping out your bath tub, you need to have a plan and that plan starts with a budget. Know before you shop how much you can spend and give yourself a little wiggle room. Remodeling any part of your home can be expensive and unexpected costs do come up, so make sure when you are starting your project, you have a budget and you stick to it.<\/p>\n
2. Don’t Forget the Safety Equipment! –<\/b> You may not think a bathroom remodel is a dangerous job, but there are many parts of this job that will require you to wear a mask, protective glasses and\/or gloves. Don’t skip on safety measures.<\/p>\n
3. Think About Space-<\/b> If you want to move your tub, sink, or toilet, keep in mind that you will have to reroute plumbing. If you are a plumber, this may be easy for you, but if not, consider choosing new fixtures and keeping them in the same space.<\/p>\n
4. Make Blue Prints-<\/b> If you do decide to move fixtures, it will be very helpful if you draw a floor plan with measurements before starting or buying any new pieces. You will also need to be aware of where any outlets are.<\/p>\n
5. Know Your Materials-<\/b> Study up on the type of materials you need for a bathroom remodel. While you can use drywall for the walls of the room, your shower walls should be cement board with a waterproofing membrane.<\/p>\n
