A well-remodeled bathroom can provide years of pleasure and comfort for the household. Doing an amateur job, however, can cost you dearly in the long run. Nuss Construction Company, the leading home improvement expert in our area, shares the top rookie mistakes to avoid for a successful remodel:
1. Rushing the Process. Starting a new project can be exciting, and naturally, you’d want to get it done immediately. The problem is, poor planning can cause delays, overspending and unsatisfactory results. Depending on your bath’s size and your project’s scope, planning should take at least several weeks. This allows you to consider every possible option, ensuring that you won’t be changing your mind anytime during the project.
2. Skimping on Skilled Labor. Some homeowners prefer a do-it-yourself approach to trim costs, but this can actually cost them more in the long run. A major project like bathroom remodeling requires the expert skills and professional equipment to ensure quality, lasting results. Imagine ripping out your old tub and accidentally damaging your plumbing. You’d have to spend more to get that fixed before you can continue with the remodel. The cost of the repair combined with the added cost of the delays would pile up, and you’d end up spending more than had you hired a professional in the first place.
3. Neglecting Proper Storage. Smart storage is an important feature in every bathroom. After all, no one wants to run to the closet every time they’re getting out of the shower just to get a towel. Installing a closet inside your bathroom is ideal. But if you don’t have the space for it, a simple chest or armoire is enough to store essentials in. We also recommend investing in a medicine cabinet for your health care and first-aid essentials.
4. Choosing Low-Quality Materials. Another common and costly mistake is choosing subpar materials for items that you often use like faucets, flooring and lighting. High-quality products may initially cost more but they allow you to save up on maintenance and repair expenses.
