Bathroom Renovations

When doing home renovations the bathroom is one of the most popular rooms to renovate, some people will go for a spa like oasis while others are looking to do simple upgrades such as new fixtures or flooring or a fresh paint job. Renovations can be done with a budget in mind, by figuring out how much you can spend will help determine the extent of your work.

• A fresh coat of paint is one of the cheapest ways to update a look, make sure you use a high quality paint in a satin finish and because of mold and mildew in a bathroom you may want to use a special bathroom paint. Using a neutral color might be a good idea if your thinking of a resale in the near future.
• Update your fixtures, shop around for your fixtures to see what you can find on sale and get creative. Mix and match old and new, look at your local restore! Perhaps you re-use a light fixture but purchase a new sink faucet or towel rack.
• Look for ways you can go green and save on water and money.
• Save money on your tub/shower, If you can't afford to replace it or would rather put the money into another part of the reno then have it re-lined which is cost effective.
• Use faux tile that looks like a natural stone, it is both cheaper and lower maintenance.
• Keep the bones the same, save money and limit your stress level by keeping the toilet and shower where they are.
• Recaulk and grout, it is cheap and an inexpensive way to jazz up the bathroom.
• On trend right now are granite counter tops for bathrooms, avoid neutral colors if you want to save money as they are the most popular.
• Look for slabs that are flawed and have imperfections, the more flawed the cheaper it will be.
