Bathroom remodels are a hot ticket in the home remodeling industry today. With more homeowners convinced that they will be staying in their homes a lot longer than they had originally planned many are opting to improve the live-in value of their homes.
Many homeowners view a bathroom remodel as the perfect place to start in improving their home’s living space. It’s a room that gets a lot of use, it’s relatively small in space, and there are a variety of features that can be included in it to accommodate any budget. A bathroom remodel also has a high return on investment. However, prior to jumping into a bathroom renovation project it is wise to first do your homework and make a decision on whose going to do the work. |
It’s also important that you put pencil to paper and map out the key features you want to incorporate in your bathroom remodeling plans. This list will also help you cost out your bathroom renovation plans, at least for the materials. Keep in mind that a bathroom renovation is a major financial investment and will interrupt your family’s busy lifestyle for a month or longer
| If you plan to hire a bathroom remodeling contractor then you may want to use a bathroom remodeling guide or a standard contractor bid sheet. Check out this Bathroom Remodeling Bid Sheet and Hiring Guide. A bathroom remodeling guide or contractor bid sheet will help you find the right bathroom remodeling contractor for your specific bathroom renovation goals.
Look for a bathroom remodeling guide or bid sheet that includes an in-depth questionnaire that you can provide to prospective remodeling contractors for them to fill out. |
 |
| Also make sure it includes expected answers from contractors so that you can easily evaluate the contractors’ bids and responses. After comparing the various questionnaire and contractor bid responses you’ll quickly be able to determine who is the right contractor for your bathroom remodel project.
So before hiring any old remodeling contractor off the street do your homework and use a standardized contractor hiring guide and bid sheet. The last thing you want to do is hire the wrong contractor and end up wasting thousands of dollars on a bathroom remodel that doesn’t achieve the features and look that you are ultimately seeking in your renovated bathroom. |
