We’re often asked by homeowners the benefits of upgrading bathrooms. For those interested in selling a house, updating a bathroom is a smart, sensible way to increase a home’s value and gain a return on investment. For homeowners planning on living in their home for the long term, a bathroom remodel can ensure a return on comfort, convenience, efficiency and safety.

Often, homeowners may be concerned that bathroom remodeling can be costly. That can be true. There are many levels of cabinetry, fixtures, sizes and shapes that can affect the overall costs. Setting a budget upfront is a good idea. Making a list of priorities is another.

There are several ways to save money in the long run: installing energy-efficient toilets, faucets and showerheads; replacing leaky or faulty bathroom items and old fans; upgrading lighting to bulbs that last longer; using motion sensors. Well-sealed windows can also be a game changer.

Bathroom design should also include safety concerns. Soft-closing toilet seats are a great convenience but can be essential in a home with small children. For aging residents, wider doorways and grab bars may be warranted.

Tub vs. shower? Tile floor vs. vinyl laminate? Skylight or no skylight? When it comes to bathroom design, remodels or upgrades, we know there are a lot of variables. That’s why our expert home remodeling team can help answer your questions and bring your vision to life.
