Remodeling can amplify your bathroom’s beauty, functionality and comfort. It can also enhance the safety of your space, which is especially important if you have family members with limited mobility. However, giving your bathroom a makeover can disrupt your daily routine. If you’ve decided to stay for the duration of your project, you must thoroughly prepare for it.
Get through your first bathroom remodel using these tips from a trusted home remodeling company.
Get Your Home Ready
Before construction starts, you want to empty your bathroom of your belongings. Remove things from the cabinets, drawers and shelves. Expect everything in the room to get dirty and dusty during the remodel. Do you have an extra bathroom? You can place these items in there until your project is complete.
It will help to ask your contractor about the measures they will take to prevent dust and debris from traveling to other areas of your home. To contain the mess, they might hang plastic sheets and tarps. They might also cover your floors and furnishings to protect them from damage.
Set Up a Temporary Bathroom
Do you only have one bathroom in the house? If so, ask your contractor to set up a temporary bath. They can construct a temporary fiberglass shower or toilet in your basement. Ask about the cost of setting up these makeshift fixtures and factor them in when creating your budget.
Make Plans for the Unexpected
Even with careful planning, delays can still happen during a remodel. Sometimes, materials take longer to get delivered than expected, or bad weather can push back your schedule. Furthermore, during construction, your contractor might discover underlying problems like plumbing and electrical issues. Dedicate a portion of your budget to unexpected expenses to avoid lengthy delays.
