Had a bathroom remodel recently? Maybe not even since you moved in? If not, chances are that bathroom isn’t working for you anymore! Let’s face it- there’s a million right ways to have a bathroom, but when it’s wrong, it’s WRONG. You deserve a bathroom fitting for your Hill Country home. And while it’s true that remodeling can be wildly expensive, it doesn’t have to be! Here’s some tips for making sure you get that bathroom you want at a price that’s comfortable.
Planning and Prep
Maybe the most important thing for keeping costs down is a good, solid plan. Of course you’ll want to prepare to be flexible where necessary, but coming in with some developed ideas will help your builder get the job done efficiently and get you the final product you’re looking for! First, start with some questions about what needs done: Do you want layout changes? Are you simply upgrading hardware/lights/plumbing/etc? What needs to be done in this remodel?
Next, if you’re upgrading hardware, start with the faucets. Sink and/or tub hardware are often the most immediately visible things walking into a bathroom, and they get a ton of use, too! Make sure you get ones you like for function and style, and then match from there.
What about storage and counter space? Take stock of what your needs are, and walk it out in your bathroom space to get a feel for what you can comfortably fit. Carry out these kinds of questions through the whole area. We’re looking for a dream bathroom, it’s worth the time spent planning!
The Bathroom Remodel Itself
When it’s time to get the work done, the number one money-saving tip is to trust your builder. At this point, you should be building a relationship with a Jonestown/Lago Vista area contractor you can trust already. They can tell you what works and what needs changed in your plan, and get it done efficiently from there.
Lastly, with budget covered, there’s no reason to wait. Knock out that bathroom remodel and you’ll be on to the next project. With these tips, you’ll have your Hill Country dream home in no time!
