Tips on Staying on Track With Your Bathroom Remodeling

Written by Stephen Ryan | Oct 23, 2020 9:04:00 AM

Whether you’re getting a series of bathroom safety upgrades or giving the room a total makeover, bathroom remodeling can take a significant amount of time. You’ll want to keep the entire project on track to minimize disruption and to try out your bathroom’s new additions. This is why we’re here to share a few tips on keeping your schedule on track.

Have a Clear Goal From the Start

Your bathroom remodeling project will finish sooner than later if you have a clear set of goals even before the pros start working. The more detailed you are about what you want to accomplish with your project, the less likely you will end up being delayed by last-minute adjustments. Start with figuring out your bathroom’s main feature and start working down on the smaller details, preferably weeks or even months ahead of time.

Prepare an Emergency Buffer for Your Budget

It’s common for many bathroom remodeling projects to get delayed by budget issues that even a one day bath remodel ends up lasting for multiple days. To make sure you don’t run into the same problem, set a “buffer” for your project worth about 15-25% of the total project cost. That way, you wouldn’t have to wait for an extra influx of cash if you need an unexpected change in your project that would require more materials or labor.

Always Keep In Touch With Your Contractor

Bathroom remodeling should be left to the pros, but that doesn’t mean that you should just wait it out. Be more proactive when it comes to discussing the project with your chosen contractor. The more you communicate with them, the easier and faster it is to make decisions before and during the project. Speaking of which…

Choose Local Contractors

Picture this, what if it turns out your project needs more materials like custom-fit glass panels for shower enclosures or tiles for your typical shower area? Getting more materials to your place can take a while if the remodeling contractor is based somewhere far away. By working with a local contractor, you’re only a short drive away from where they operate, plus you also get the assurance that you’re working with people who are aware of local building regulations.
