Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodeling or adding an extra bathroom has become one of the most popular remodeling services in recent years. This is because the bathroom designs of previous decades have proven inadequate for changing lifestyles. If you're considering adding/expanding bathroom space or remodeling a bathroom, you have more benefits than just your own enjoyment of the change.
At some point, most homeowners will sell their home. The importance of bathrooms in the minds of home buyers cannot be overstated. It doesn't just increase the value of your home, it makes it easier to sell even at a higher price. In fact, even dropping your price to attract buyers isn't enough if bathrooms are inadequate.
With material prices continually rising, even if the sale of your home is years away, the payoff for a bathroom remodel or new bathroom increases if you avoid putting it off. It tops the list of one of the most important home upgrades you can make. And of course, the ease of selling your home ends up being a side benefit. A new or remodeled bathroom gives you immediate enjoyment.
It's great that the next buyer of your home will be attracted by the bathroom, but it's kind of pointless if you are not being just selfish enough to do it for yourself. There's even a bit of irony here. Once you have your dream bathroom, it becomes far less likely you'll want to move.
With all this said about bathroom remodeling, there is a downside if you are at the beginning stages exploring a new bathroom and are not yet aware of the technical aspects. If you are more well informed, then you know how costly a bathroom remodel can be. Otherwise, it can be a bit of sticker shock.
The reason is, doing a bathroom is not like a bedroom or living room. The fixtures, electrical, moisture proofing, plumbing, and other requirements mean the cost per square foot is significantly higher. It may be a small room, especially in older homes, but there is a lot to do in that small room.
We've promised you we wouldn't use sales pitches on this site, so the straight shooting above is to inform you of both the pros and the cons. However, since higher cost per square foot is the only real downside, you'll quickly get over that as you're enjoying the rewards of a new bathroom. The inconvenience of inadequate bathroom facilities is more painful than the money.
