Bathroom Renovations: Costs and Steps to Start

Is your bathroom feeling outdated?

It might be time for a change with a bathroom renovation.

Whether you're settling into a new home or thinking about selling, a bathroom renovation can make a big difference.

It not only makes your bathroom more comfortable but can also boost your home's value, making it worth more when you decide to sell.

But before you jump in with the experts, let's go over the basics of a bathroom renovation project.

What You Need to Know Before You Start

1. Figure Out Your Budget:

At Zo Building, quality bathroom renovations usually cost between $20,000 to $35,000. For something more luxurious, expect to pay anywhere upwards of $32,000.

Factors like size, work involved and what sort of finish you want all come into you price. Custom finishes and materials will also increase your bathroom renovation spend.

2. Know Your Project's Size and Time:

Wondering how long it'll take? Well, that depends. A quick refresh takes about a month. Think new vanities, updated plumbing, and a fresh look.

A full bathroom renovation? This can add a few more weeks on top. Walls might move, floors get upgraded, and you might add some custom features like skylights or underfloor heating.

3. Choose the Right Team:

The key to a great bathroom renovation is having the right team. Look for bathroom designers and renovation builders with good experience. Check out their past work to see if you like their style.

Find a design-build team that can work with your budget, meet deadlines, and do a fantastic job. Read reviews and ask for testimonies from previous clients before committing.

4. Make Your Bathroom Wishlist:

Now for the fun part! Dream big and create a wishlist. Check out Pinterest for ideas. Do you want marble countertops or a steam shower? Write it down in order of what's most important.

Having a clear wishlist helps you use your budget wisely and get the bathroom you've been dreaming about.
