bathroom remodel

When it comes to improving the value of your home, remodeling your bathroom is one of the best things you can do. When done right, remodeling your bathroom is a great way to make your home worth more.

Come up with a good plan

If you plan your remodeling well, you might be able to stick to your budget. Check to see if you have the right permits, take measurements, plan, choose and gather your materials, consider hiring a contractor, and rent a dumpster to store the construction debris from the demolition.

Recognize the casts, and don’t go over your budget!

The cost of remodeling a bathroom can vary depending on where you live and how hard the job is.

Collecting as much data as possible before you start could help you figure out a reasonable project budget.

Know when to save money when doing things yourself

You might save money if you do small repairs and renovations on your own. You should hire a local contractor if you don’t know how to do a certain part of the renovation.

Watch out for damage from water

Bathrooms often have problems with moisture, so when you take up flooring, drywall, etc., look carefully for mold and water damage.

Elements of Design to Think About

Before you start, choose a bathroom renovation plan that fits your vision and level of DIY skill. This project can be done in many ways, from repainting and replacing the vanity to taking the room apart and starting over.

Leave out the small stuff

Before starting your bathroom makeover, clean your vanity, linen closet, shower, and other storage areas very well. Donate everything in good condition that you no longer use. All the things you wish to keep should be in a separate room.

Put everything on the walls away

Take your mirror down if you don’t want to get hurt while the hammers are swinging. If you need to take down some cabinets or shelves but still want to use them in your new design, take them down carefully and put them away.

Stop using electricity

Now you can start taking apart your bathroom for real. First, though, let’s make sure the space is safe.

Find the right switch in your breaker box and flip it to the “off” position to turn off the electricity in the bathroom. If not, you’ll have to use the tried-and-true method of finding the switch that runs the bathroom in your breaker box.

Take the water out of the toilet and tap

After turning off the water supply, drain any water left in the pipes so you don’t have a small flood while working.

Turn on all the sink faucets in the bathroom until all the water runs out

Flush the toilet to remove the waste from the tank and bowl. Using a tiny cup or sponge, gently remove any residual water from the surface. Alternatively, you might use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any remaining water.

Take the seat off the toilet

Even though it takes a little more work to remove a toilet than a vanity, it’s still a simple task.

A sockets tool may also be necessary if your toilet has been in place for some time.

How do you keep the bathroom you just remodeled clean

There may be a lot of dirt in a bathroom remodel. Keep cleaning supplies close by if you want to keep things clean.

Also, you should always clean it up after you use it because if you don’t, it will get messy. Keep dirty towels or clothes close by so you don’t have to wade through a sea of messy towels to get to the washer and dryer.

When to rent a dumpster

Before you take the equipment out, rent a home dumpster so you can clean as you go. After gutting a bathroom, you’ll have a lot more trash than you can put out on the curb. The sink, vanity, tub, toilet, tile, and backing are big.

Before you rent a dumpster from a reputable waste management company, you should know the two most common types of dumpsters for bathroom remodeling.

Roll-off dumpsters and container dumpsters are the two types of dumpsters that can be used for a bathroom remodel.

A roll-off dumpster has a big opening in the front, while a container dumpster has a big door at the top. How much it costs to rent a dumpster depends on the type. The least expensive way to rent a dumpster for a bathroom remodel is to rent a container dumpster. If you rent a dumpster you may make the entire procedure a lot less stressful.
