The master bathroom is the second most important room to renovate, second only to the kitchen.  The master bathroom in any home is one of the most used and frequently looked at rooms for cleanliness and design.  The master bathroom and kitchen hold a large majority of the value in any home.

Bathroom remodeling costs are heavily dependant on the materials used and how large the bathroom is. The size of a bathroom will dictate the amount of tile or paint is required. The larger a shower or rub, either inclusive or not, or if plumbing must be rearranged, will also drive the cost of a bathroom remodel.  Lighting is an often understated issue with bathrooms and should be considered early in the design process. A small bathroom remodel will typically cost $6,500 but could cost as little as $1,500 and as much as $15,000 or more. On average, homeowners recoup 60-70% of the remodeling costs when selling the home. Another consideration, updated homes often sell faster than similar homes of the same age and location.

We ask all of our clients to plan for at least 3 weeks, but often  the renovation will take more time. if that is your case we will let you know immediately.

The biggest mistake anyone can make is not asking enough questions. Ask for previous examples, ask for the contractors' scope of work, ask what their workload is and how dedicated they are to your project. Another great question to ask is how many people will be working in your home and who is responsible for them? Will it be the person you are talking to or another manager? It's imperative to ask about licensing and insurance as well. Asking about blueprints or permits and making sure everything is to your liking before the work starts is a common issue. Make sure you are willing to speak up even over the smalled details. This is your bathroom, and it's up to you to ensure it is adequately renovated.

Above all, ask as many questions as you can and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

First and foremost is understanding your budget and where you'd like to spend it. There are many ways to increase or decrease the cost of a bathroom remodeling project, but you may have to make sacrifices to afford the things you want. We tell everyone to consider the essentials when picking what design and materials they want. While the little luxuries make a bathroom truly stand out, they can also drive the cost up. Think about the layout and how much room you want or need when moving around. The shape and style of your shower can make or break a bathroom renovation, but we will gladly advise you on this decision. Slip-resistant flooring is also another strong recommendation we make, and while it may be more than you would like, the peace of mind is worth every penny. 

There a few mistakes to avoid when considering a bathroom remodel, and the easier one is forgetting about the bathroom fan. Considering a stylish yet practical ventilation fan is vital to maintain proper humidity levels in the bathroom and prevent mold or excess moisture that may rust certain metals. The second most common mistake is forgetting to plan for cleaning days. Make sure your bathroom will be easy to clean, and nothing is hard to reach. And finally, we recommend you always fix small mistakes. Gaps in tiles, or minor cracks in paint as it dries, even in areas you wouldn't consider looking, will create headaches later to fix as the problem worsens.
