So you have hired a good contractor to handle your small bathroom remodeling project in Gaithersburg, now what? The thing to remember is that a contractor is there to do the work and to put it all together. They typically do not decide what elements or fixtures go into the room. This is on you as the homeowner, so you will need to think carefully and consult with your contractor before the start of the project to ensure that everything is selected and that you are on the same page. The following are tips to follow when remodeling your bathroom.
1. Harmonious Appeal. There is nothing worse than a bathroom that has fixtures and hardware that clash. Decide what your design is going to be beforehand, and stick with it. There are plenty of finishes, fixtures, color schemes and hardware available to suit all tastes and preferences, so you should be able to create a look that will be appealing and refreshing.
2. Don’t Forget the Small Stuff. When people remodel their bathrooms they are often so caught up in the major parts of the remodel that they forget the small stuff. Things like towel rails, soap dispensers, toilet paper dispensers, shower wall racks, and shelving should not be overlooked. These things are essential for convenience purposes, and it is much easier just to have your contractor install them when they are installing fixtures and other things. These are the things that will make your bathroom feel functional and complete.
3. Don’t Overdo It. Sometimes when people remodel their bathrooms they tend to get carried away. There are so many beautiful bathroom products and finishing décor on the market that it is hard not to get carried away. Set a budget from the start and try to stick to it as much as possible. You can still have a great looking bathroom even if you are on a budget as long as you search for the best prices on materials and consult with your contractor to see what types of discounts they can get as well. Many times contractors can get discounts at home improvement stores. In some cases they will pass a part of the savings on to their customers.
As long as you hire a good contractor you should not have anything to worry about. They will look out for your interests, and they will consult with you throughout every step of the process.
