Bathroom Remodeling

Is your bathroom outdated and old? Or you simply don’t like what the previous house owners did and want to refresh its look? Then it’s time for bathroom remodeling! Whatever your interior ideas and dreams are, A+ Construction will help you to make them come true. We’re one of a few companies that provide the whole range of services for a proper reorganization process of room space.

Why organizing bathroom remodeling?

Every room, be that bedroom, hall, kitchen, or bathroom, should combine two key elements: aesthetics and functionality. What if you realize that your bathroom isn’t convenient, or simply doesn’t appeal to you visually? Remodeling is a versatile solution. Even a few changes can completely change the look and functionality of your room, and every single square foot can be used more efficiently.

There are at least 5 reasons to remodel your bathroom:

1. The cost of minor remodeling can be much lower than buying completely new furniture and bathroom fixtures while bringing the same results.
2. Remodeling is a way faster than a complete reconstruction of a room.
3. With the help of remodeling, you can refresh the look of your bathroom entirely even without buying a lot of new furniture and decorations.
4. If you use some life hacks and smart ideas, the functionality of your bathroom can be improved and extended. In most cases, 50% of room space isn't used efficiently for storage and other purposes – a smart approach can make your bathroom more functional and convenient.
5. Think that your bathroom is too small? Well-organized remodeling allows for accommodating a bathtub, shower, and a washing machine even in the smallest (5' x 8') rooms - modern trends and design solutions are aimed at maximum efficiency of space usage.

Where to start?

Before wreaking havoc on your bathroom and getting rid of unnecessary items, stop and think over the process thoroughly. Don't rush to reconstruct the room dramatically - the scope of tasks can be less than you think if you figure out the right approach and decide what exactly you expect from remodeling.

First and foremost, organize a bathroom remodel questionnaire:

• What's the main purpose of reconstruction in my case? Do I need to reorganize storage and functional space? Or do I just want to refresh the interior?
• In which style I would like to see the room? Will it be traditional vintage style or you want to make your bathroom minimalistic following trends 2018?
• What's my budget? Can I afford the cost of reconstruction with a third-party company, or it will be a DIY project? Will I buy any furniture and materials?
• How do I imagine the final results?

These questions will help you to define the volume of work to be done, and purchases to be made. When figuring out the plan, base on certain keywords for your convenience (for instance, light, high-tech, cozy, warm, spacious, etc) - they'll be your guidelines on the way to a perfect bathroom.

If you need inspiration and some hints, check the interior magazines and related websites: they will not only show you photos with bathroom design trends but will also point out the mistakes to avoid.

A pro advice: make a checklist PDF, or a word file, where you can enumerate all the supplies and materials to be bought, and the stores to be visited together with precise prices of items. If you resolve to order some services from third-party companies, ask how much the handyman estimates his labor cost – you need to know it in advance.

Remodeling for beginners: basic steps

Think you cannot organize the reconstruction of your bathroom without help? In fact, remodeling is available even for dummies who have zero experience of redecoration. You just need to plan the things thoroughly and not to hurry to eliminate the risk of typical mistakes.

Before we continue, let’s enumerate 5 common mistakes to avoid:

1. The absence of sockets and non-protected sockets. Even if you won’t place a washing machine in your bathroom, you may need sockets to plug in a hair dryer or a trimmer – make at least 1-2 sockets (better near the mirror). Don’t forget to install covers! They will protect the sockets from moisture to reduce the risk of shortcut and electric shock.
2. Wrong sizes. No matter what you have – a huge 8 x 8 bathroom, or a small 6x6 room, or something non-standard as 5 x 10 or 6' x 8' – calculate the dimensions of the bathtub, shower cabin, and vanities beforehand! It’s not enough just to look at ideas pictures – you need to make sure that the furniture and facilities will fit in the room without hindering your movements.
3. Lack of materials. The same applies to build materials: you need to calculate the exact amount of tiles, plaster, color, and so on, and perform the cost estimate. “How do I find out the exact volume of materials required?” – you may ask. Just use a special app or an online free estimates tool. You’ll just need to type in the dimensions of the room or wall to be processed, and the materials you’ll use (tile dimensions, if required). Say, you specify you have a 6x7 bathroom, and the calculator will show you the number of materials needed.
4. Slippery floor. Prevent falling and traumas – buy a bathroom mat. It’s especially important when you make a bathroom for a family with the elderly or children.
5. Not organizing a proper air ventilation. If the air in the bathroom is always humid, it can spoil furniture and lead to the growth of mold. The absence of positive draft is one of the most serious mistakes that can cost you too much!

You’ve thumbed through every gallery, and checked all ideas 2018 and trends 2019 to create the plan of your perfect bathroom? Let’s get down to business!

First, you need to buy all the necessary materials. Google “stores near me” and check their prices to figure out whether you can save. Some home depots have all-time sales and special offers, so you can remodel your bathroom for cheap.

Secondly, when the walls and the floor are redecorated, you can install the water pipers and all utilities (bathtub, shower cabin, sink). Before buying such items, read reviews - they should be of the highest quality to serve for a long time.

When the basic bathroom components are installed, get down to the most pleasant part – decoration. Check for ideas 2018 and ideas 2019 to get inspiration, read catalogs and magazines with examples of successful remodeling (check before and after photos). Visit showrooms. There’s a myriad of ways to make your bathroom unique and stylish! Try to reach the golden middle between optimal functionality and arty-crafty look.

Mind your special needs. It’s particularly crucial when you organize a small bathroom remodel and need to figure out how to store all necessities. Or maybe the bathroom will be used by elderly or physically handicapped people? Then you’ll need to install special handles and make the toilet bowl sit higher – there’s the whole gamut of ideas for seniors to make the bathroom more comfortable for them.

You can do all these things on your own, or make a smarter decision and contact the contractors and order their services.
