Perhaps you’re just considering a bathroom remodel, or maybe you are already fully committed to the idea. In either case, we hope you’ll find the information we’ve assembled useful, and that you’ll consider our line of products as your partner in this adventure. We’ve made it easy to “window shop” on this web.

Bathroom Remodeling is one of the most popular home improvement projects for homeowners. Bathroom Remodeling not only improves the enjoyment and usefulness of the home, but it adds almost instant increased value and equity to both older and newer homes.

A bathroom remodeling project may include replacing the existing sink, shower, bathtub, and toilet with new appliances. Or you may wish only to have them refinished, repairing the chips and dings. There can be a combination, where the tub is refinished, and the toilet is replaced with a new, efficient low-flush toilet, saving you money in water and sewer bills. Your Bathroom Remodeling professional can even install a shower where there wasn’t one before.

Additionally, a bathroom remodel can include new paint, countertops, vanities, windows, vents, and lighting. Tub and shower enclosures can either be retiled, or renewed with less expensive kits. Floors, too, are often selected for special attention, with the installation of quality ceramic tile, or linoleum and baseboards.

Like other remodeling projects or additions, a well thought out bathroom remodel has a fast return on investment in the value it adds to your home. Few other home improvement projects equal the bathroom remodel typically and dramatically increasing your home equity.

Bathroom Planning and Design

Perhaps today’s bathrooms have seen the most dramatic changes in both concept and design. No longer 5″ x 7″ utility closets with just the necessary fixtures, today they are spacious and sprawling rooms that include many amenities…large whirlpool tubs…separate showers …double sinks…and storage, storage, storage. And that’s just the first choice you have to make. Choices, scores of choices, are what go into a good project. Anyone who has remodeled will tell you this can be the hardest part.

Part of the fun of remodeling your bathroom is shopping for the fixtures that will become part of it.

Does Remodeling Boost Market Value? Or is it Based on Your Need!

Before you drop $5,000 or $50,000 for a major remodeling or renovation job, it certainly helps to know if that investment will pay off when you sell your home. Will it add to the resale value of your home, or just make life more comfortable (or expensive)? It’s important information but don’t rely on remodeling industry statistics to provide it, says Kenneth Harney in The Nation’s Housing.

Remodeling Magazine publishes the annual “Cost vs. Value Report,” a nationwide survey that measures the possible return on investment for various remodeling projects when it comes time to sell. It takes a look at 60 regional real estate markets and 12 types of remodeling projects ranging from kitchen and bath renovations to windows and siding. Through a survey of real estate professionals, the report tries to measure how much and how fast the expenditure will add to a home’s resale value.

But the results obtained from these surveys is highly variable, extremely suspect and fraught with potential conflicts of interest, says Harney. Some of the results don’t make sense from a state or regional perspective, either. In the 1998 study, for example, a $10,000 kitchen renovation returns 45 percent of its value in Hartford, Connecticut. That same renovation, however, returns a whopping 125 percent in New Haven. The margin of error might have something to do with the methodology, says Harney, which isn’t backed by actual sales transactions or appraisals. Similar discrepancies show up in nearly every state and region.

Professional appraisers suggest looking at some basic factors in determining how much money you’ll get back from a remodeling expenditure:

1 – Consider Neighborhood Norms.

Compare your home to similar homes in the neighborhood, and apply common sense to the decision. For example, if your home has only one bathroom while most homes have two or more, then it might make sense to install one. But don’t go all out on a luxury, $40,000 master bath with sauna. Maybe a half-bathroom will suffice.

2 – Expensive Isn’t Always Better.

Sometimes the cheapest renovations offer the highest returns. Exterior paint and landscaping improvements can add considerable “curb appeal,” boosting your home’s salability. Basement rec rooms or swimming pools, on the other hand, tend to be losers.

3 – What’s the Demand?

Always look at your area and the real estate market’s relative strength. If homes are consistently selling like hotcakes, then chances are people will pay for your remodeling improvements. Also make sure you get your neighbors’ opinions and possibly a professional real estate appraiser’s assessment of your particular plan.
