Comprehensive Checklist: Everything You Need to Know for Your Upcoming Bathroom Remodeling Project
Does the existing bathroom in your home look a little outdated? Is your tub or shower stained, moldy, or not functioning as it should? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to consider remodeling your bathroom. However, before you decide to take on this task, you’ll want to consider what changes you want to make to your bathroom and take note of all that goes into a remodeling project. To assist you, we at Dreamstyle Remodeling put together the following checklist:
Budget
It’s important to figure out what you’re willing to spend before you embark on your bathroom renovation journey. This will allow you to have a good idea of how you should go about designing each aspect of your remodel. Are you working with a smaller budget? Maybe just replacing your old wet area with a new walk-in bathtub or shower is enough to do the trick. Have a larger budget? If so, you may find it worthwhile to transform your space with a floor-to-ceiling bathroom remodel.
Time
The extent of your bathroom remodel will determine how much time your space will be under construction and unusable. Again, you’ll want to consider whether you want to remodel your whole bathroom or just the wet area. This is also where the number of bathrooms you have in your home may influence your decision. If you have multiple bathrooms, great! However, if you only have one wet area in your home, you’ll need to find another alternative while it is under construction.
Design
Make sure that you have an idea of how you want the overall design of your bathroom to look like. Do you want it to have a modern or vintage feel? Having a vision will help you select items that will fit into the overall design of your new bathroom. At Dreamstyle, we utilize cutting-edge technology to create 3-D renderings of our remodels during the consultation. This allows our customers get an idea of how their new bathroom will look and make any necessary tweaks, all before our craftsmen begin construction.
Fixtures & Features
Decide what type of fixtures and features you want in your bathroom including whether you want a bathtub or a shower, a single sink or a double sink, and what type of showerhead and faucets you’d like. Do you have young children, or enjoy long soaks? Then a bathtub may be the right choice. On the other hand, if your kids are grown and out of the home and you wish to open up your bathroom space, a walk-in shower is the better option.
Storage & Shelving
Will a standard medicine cabinet be enough to store all your belongings? Or will you need additional cabinets installed to accommodate your needs?
Floors
If you go the full-scale remodel route, you’ll need to choose what type of flooring you want, and can afford, for your bathroom. Some common floor materials include marble, granite, vinyl, and ceramic tiles.
Lighting
Lighting is another important factor to consider when remodeling your bathroom. It’s always a good idea to utilize as much natural light as you can, but you will also need to determine what kind of artificial lighting will work best for both your functional and aesthetic needs.
Contractor
The most important part of this checklist is to find a contractor that you can trust with your bathroom remodeling project. You’ll need to do some research to make sure that the contractor you want to hire is reputable, can handle all of the work that is needed, and has favorable reviews from their previous clients.
