Bathroom Remodeling -
You are in your bathroom more often than in any other room of your home. Surprised? That's one of the reasons that bathrooms are the most remodeled room in the remodeling industry. Have you ever looked at the designs featured in magazines, or viewed bathroom products in local showrooms? Many people get sticker shock when these publications list the average bathroom remodeling cost at $10,000-12,000 and more! We find these estimates to be very high and the "average" bathroom remodel that we complete ranges from $4,500 - 8,000. That is not to say you cannot spend $10-20,000 on a bathroom, but at those price points we are normally doing extensive changes to the structure and layout, or adding an additional bathroom. On average for the year 2001 an owner could expect to recoup approximately 85% upon the sale of the home when using a professional to remodel their bathroom!
If you're thinking about remodeling the bathroom, make sure that you set a budget that you can afford, and that will allow you to add value, comfort and convenience over the existing bathroom. Then answer these questions:
- Will you be replacing all of your fixtures?
- Will you be keeping the fixtures in their original layout?
- Do you have other facilities to use during the remodeling project?
The answers to these questions will affect the cost of your bathroom remodel. Sometimes you may want just a new tub or tub/shower unit and control valve (faucet). When choosing this option remember you will probably also be changing the existing floor covering. Seldom does the new tub/shower unit cover where the old flooring conformed to. Also depending upon what "type" of flooring is in place or to be used you may have to remove the existing fixtures (trim and moldings, toilet, vanity etc). In doing this the labor cost for removing and re-installing these items will be included in the total proposed price for the project. Keep this in mind when choosing to replace "only" the tub/shower unit. The cost of labor when replacing these items with new fixtures is not that large of a increase compared to re-installing the old fixtures etc.
If you are changing the existing configuration of your fixture placement we can help you design a plan that conforms to your existing room size or help you plan a design that will maximize available adjoining or newly created space. This is a very important step. When done properly, you will increase the value of your home and make the transition almost transparent. When done improperly, you will have spent thousands of dollars to make a larger bathroom that adds nothing to the value, comfort, or convenience. When you are changing the fixture placement of your bathroom it is also important to have other facilities available while the project is being completed. Make sure when changing the layout of your bathroom that you are doing it for two reasons - adding space and convenience. Try to think of all the details when designing your bathroom. Several decisions will make a big difference in your new bathroom. These include planning fixture placement, lighting, adding a phone jack by a spa tub, adding built-in cabinetry for linens, or planning wall space for a convenient towel bar. Some of these items may sound like common sense, but they are often overlooked to the dismay of many a homeowner.
