What should you NOT do when remodeling a Bathroom?

This is a subtitle for your new post

People always talk about what you should do during bathroom renovation, but is there anything you should not do?

Oh yes, and there’s a long list.

Here are some things you should not do when remodeling your bathroom:

●      Do not cheap out on your fan. You want to invest in a high quality vent with a timer switch. Technically speaking, your fan should run up to 15 minutes after you step out of the shower to prevent condensation within the room and keep your new bathroom looking new.

●      Do not cheap out on materials either. If you’re going to put money into a new bathroom, you want to make sure you are using high quality materials that are going to last. Moisture levels and temperature shifts can all affect the durability of your materials, so be sure to ask one of your Contractors in Barrie to match you with materials that suit the needs of your bathroom.

●      Don’t neglect storage space. A messy and cluttered bathroom can drastically take away from the aesthetic appeal. Even if you have a small bathroom, there’s lots of ways to incorporate extra storage space. Whether you add extra shelving or opt for a hinged mirror with extra storage, there’s lots of ways to increase space.

●      Do not replace everything if you don’t have to. When it comes to bathroom renovations Barrie, you don’t always have to replace everything. Depending on condition, for example, you may be able to refinish your bathtub or shower, reface your cabinets, or regrout your tiling. When you have the opportunity to do this, it can save you a pretty penny.

●      Do not do the lighting yourself. Bathroom remodeling can be a great do-it-yourself project, but if you aren’t a professional, you should never try to hook up electrical components on your own. Firstly, attempting to do so can be extremely dangerous. Secondly, electrical codes can be very specific and failing to follow them can put your house at risk for future damage. Always leave electricity to the pros.

●      Don’t go with the trends. Yes, it can be very tempting to design your bathroom in whatever is trending at the time, but trends go out of style - and fast. Most trends don’t last more than 4-5 years, so if you're basing your bathroom design off that, you’re going to be very disappointed 5 years down the road when you need to remodel again. Choose a classic trend that never goes out of style, or just go with what you love.

And finally, don’t be unrealistic with your time expectations or budget. If you want your bathroom renovations done properly, prepare to spend the time and money on them. Attempting to save yourself money by doing it all yourself can cost you more money for repairs in the long run, so make sure you choose Contractors in Barrie who can help you do it right the first time.
