Many homeowners get bored with many parts of their home after a few years. It is important that they change things up a bit in order to be happier with their home. Many will also do renovations to sell the home and increase the value. One of the rooms that is constantly being renovated is the bathroom. Some homeowners like to do the renovations themselves. Professional plumbers have some tips on what to do and what not to do when it is time to make drastic changes to your bathroom.
One of the most important tips that your Alexandria plumber will give you is to make sure that you have a solid budget. If you come across unexpected problems when you begin the renovations, there could be problems if you are not prepared financially. Most professionals suggest that you allow anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 over your initial budget. Quite a few homeowners come across problems with changing the floor or shower when attempting to do bathroom renovations. This is where that extra money can come in handy.
Another tip that your plumber will give you is to spend a god chunk of the budget on a new shower. By installing a larger shower with a beautiful door and powerful head, you will really add value, not to mention enjoy taking a shower and relaxing in beautiful surroundings. If you change the surfaces in the bathroom as well, for instance, adding marble to the shower or to the vanity, be ready to spend a lot more time in the bathroom. This room may become your favorite one in the house.
It is very important that you make enough room in your renovated bathroom for the things that you want the most. One of these things tends to be a vanity. If you are looking to make changes, the vanity is generally one of those, since it generally is the focal point of the bathroom. Make sure that you have given yourself enough space in the bathroom to install the vanity that you want and will use for many more years to come.
When you are choosing and installing the lights in the bathroom, make sure that there is actually enough light to make the bathroom bright. The bathroom is used to get dressed and groomed, so it needs to be well lit. There are lights that have dimmers that can be installed, too, for those times that you want to lower the lights and take a candle lit bath or shower.
Hopefully, these helpful hints can help keep you from wasting money and time on the renovations. When you decide to take on the challenge of renovating the bathroom, there is much to know and learn. By following these do’s and don’ts, your bathroom project can be a true success story with the right budget and time.
