Checklist for Bathroom Renovations

A new bathroom can completely transform your home, and it doesn’t have to be stressful. Moreover, planning and budgeting carefully can make bathroom renovations enjoyable as well as fun.

As a matter of fact, bathroom renovations require a lot of thought. The following checklist will guide you through the budgeting, preparing, and implementation stages of your bathroom renovation project.

Before you remodel your bathroom, here’s what you need to know:

  1. Plan your bathroom design.

Of course, the first step in the bathroom remodeling process is to talk to a bathroom designer about your design preferences. Typically, the designer or project manager comes to your home to measure the existing space. Furthermore, they can then help you select a layout that fits what you have currently. In the end, you will have a good understanding of what the goal of the project is and what needs to be done.

  1. Make modifications or alterations.

Second, defining your project parameters is next.

Decide, what is your plan for the bathroom? Will you be demolishing it and starting over, or just adding some fixtures?

Obviously, a project’s budget and length are influenced by how much work you put into it.

A bathroom contains a lot of items and fixtures. During your project, you might consider updating the following:

  • The mirrors
  • The countertops
  • Bathroom vanities
  • The toilet and sink faucets
  • The shower bench
  • The addition of walls
  • Soap and lotion dispensing systems
  • Decorative wallcoverings (e.g., paint, tile, wallpaper)
  • The floor
  • Bathroom tissue paper and towel hangers
  • The ventilation system (exhaust fan)
  • A/C and heating
  • Bathtub/spa
  • The shower
  • A shower’s door or curtain
  • Soap holder/shelving
  • Cabinets and shelves
  • Handrails and bars
  • A lighting system
  • The medicine chest
  • Tub/shower faucet, handle, and drainage

As a matter of fact, making a change involves many factors. To plan your new bathroom correctly, use the checklist above.

  1. Review the service contract and project outline.

Whenever all design details have been finalized, the project manager will review and discuss the proposal with you.  Of course, a trustworthy contractor will give you a transparent proposal. Cost and scope of work are crucial pieces of information. You’ll also receive a project contract with pricing and details of the work. Review the proposal and contract carefully to ensure everything is as you want it. This is the time to modify any materials or parts of the project. Additionally, the contractor will explain their construction schedule.
