A bathroom remodel not only adds value to the home; it may also help with changes in your life. As children get older, the bathroom needs to adjust to their height, number of occupants, and possible longer wait times. Here are a few tips to remember when preparing for the remodel.

3 Ways to Get Ready for Bathroom Remodels 

1. Check the Budget

Start by deciding what you want and finding a remodeling contractor who’ll give a solid estimate on the price of the project. Remodeling usually includes ripping up flooring, replacing the bath or shower, and adding new cabinets for the sink. Talk to the contractor and let them know your budget ahead of time, so you can decide what you can afford and what to expect.

2. Empty the Bathroom

Look at the project as moving out of the room while it’s getting remodeled. So, like you would do if you moved out of a house, take everything out of it. If you are still wondering about budget, ask the contractor what you can do to help lower the cost. For example, removing the towel racks from the walls may be helpful.

3. Alter Traffic Flow

The bathroom will most likely be unusable for several days to a week, depending on the scale of the project. Let all family members know that they will have to use another bathroom. Also, let children know they can no longer use it as a walkway if the bathroom lies between their rooms.
