Remodeling a bathroom is more than just picking out a new tile color or pattern. Despite appearances, there are so many things going on behind the scenes that only professional bathroom remodeling contractors may know about. Plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, drain connections and even heating and air conditioning ducts all work together to provide you with comfort and functionality. These systems must all be taken into account if you’re considering a major overhaul.
Our professionals at Advantage Contracting have completed countless bathroom remodels and we know a thing or two about giving this important room a brand-new look. Here are a few of our best tips:
Expect Frustration
A bathroom remodel can deviate from your original schedule, budget and plans farther than any other room in your house. This could cause you a lot of stress, more so if this is your first ever major project. Expecting the unexpected may not immediately solve the issues, but it will keep stress levels down so you can come up with reasonable solutions.
Plumbing Problems
Plumbing makes up more than 80% of all bathroom-related projects. It plays such an important role that you may want to take the opportunity to deal with miscellaneous plumbing issues even if they weren’t part of your project to begin with. This could push your budget to its limits but it will definitely save you time as you won’t need additional plumbing services any time soon after. Save time and money by trusting only professional bathroom remodeling contractors for all your plumbing needs.
Replacement Solutions
Ask your bathroom remodeling contractor to replace old and corroded pipes before replacing wall panels. Copper supply lines offer incredible durability under high amounts of pressure, but you may want to take a look at flexible PEX piping’s convenient “push-fit” connections that remove the need for copper soldering.
