Deciding to move forward with a bathroom remodel is an exciting prospect. You get to watch your old space transform into a calm and personalized oasis of function and beauty. Of course, the excitement of renovation can also bring with it some feelings of anxiety. Where do you begin with the remodel? Do you do it DIY or hire a contractor? What exactly will work best to bring your visions to life?
At Anderson & Rodgers Construction, our team of professional designers and contracting professionals are here to put any worry to rest with our bathroom remodeling services. Read on to learn some tips and discover some idea to consider when it comes to your
bathroom remodeling project.
Tip 1: Remodel to Increase Efficiency
Gorgeous spaces are what we do, but it’s also important to design an eye toward efficiency and performance. Faulty or outdated fixtures, such as toilets over 10 years old, use more water than newer models. You are, almost literally, flushing money down the toilet with these older fixtures. Water-efficient styles will help lower your monthly water bills and help bring your home into the 21st century with modern and sustainable design. In fact, certain toilet models only use 1.28 gallons per flush, which can save you up to 13,000 gallons of water annually compared to standard models. Additionally, showers can be modified to help you only use two gallons of water per minute, reducing your total water usage and helping you save up to 2,900 gallons of water per year. Energy efficient fixtures will save you money over time and help make these renovations pay for themselves.
Tip 2: If You See Mold, It’s Time for a Remodel
A leaky toilet or faulty vanity bulb don’t necessarily call for a total bathroom remodel. However, if you see mold, hiring bathroom renovation specialists is a must. In fact, one of our bathroom remodeling tips is to contact us immediately if you see mold in your bathroom. Since bathrooms create hot, humid environments, mold can grow easily. Getting rid of it without a renovation, unfortunately, is not as easy. Plus, while bleaching small spots can be a temporary fix, it won’t stop the mold from coming back eventually. Remodeling the bathroom so that it is leak-free and draining properly and that your space is properly insulated will ensure that all mold is prevented.
Tip 3: Design with Selling in Mind
While you might not be actively looking to sell your home, custom bathrooms add value to homes. This can come in handy years down the road if you are ready to sell. If you are considering putting your home on the market, it is important to make sure that every room a potential buyer sees increases their desire to purchase. Unless they are renovators themselves, most buyers will back away if they see a bathroom that is years behind the design times. Updating your bathroom will increase the resale value of your home and get these buyers extremely interested.
