Embarking on a remodeling project can be intimidating, but the end result can be well worth it. As a remodeler with 50+ years in the game, here are some of the most common reasons why people would opt to remodel their bathroom.
Safety
Everyone has to use the bathroom; it’s meant to be a private oasis for self-care. However, oftentimes those who are injured or disabled cannot enjoy it as such. There are several upgrades you can make to your bathroom to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Widening doors, lowering/eliminating shower step in heights, opting for a walk-in tub, or simply adding grab bars and benches to your shower can make a huge difference.
Remove Mold / Mildew
Bathrooms that lack proper ventilation are in danger of developing mold or mildew, which can build up for years. Water leaks can lead to even worse damage like rot. Their presence usually causes a wide variety of symptoms in the homeowners, even if only exposed for a short period of time. Depending on the severity, mold removal might require the walls, floors, and ceiling to be replaced.
Plumbing Issues
From a small leak in the tap to a toilet that is constantly running – plumbing issues are no joke. No matter how big or small the issue is, it’s costing you money, wasting water, and possibly damaging your walls and floors. If no repairs are made, plumbing issues can cause the floor to rot, tile to break, and paint to peel, leaving you with an unsightly bathroom and a moldy odor. Remodeling will repair existing damage and install new plumbing that works efficiently.
Home Value
Outdated bathrooms can lower your appeal to buyers. Homeowners who are planning to sell, often invest some money in repairing and remodeling the bathrooms to make sure their house is taken off the market quickly. The objective of these remodels is to make the bathrooms safe, clean, and efficient.
For Looks
Colors and fashions change, preferences change. What once used to be a perfect bathroom can turn into the least favorite room in the house. Besides changing cosmetic items like paint and fixtures, people love to upgrade their tubs and showers. Jetted tubs and spa showers can turn a simple master bath into the ultimate oasis.
