Steps to Start a Bathroom Remodeling Job

Steps to Start a Bathroom Remodeling Job thumbnail
An updated bathroom increases the value of a home.

The most efficient way to begin a remodeling job is to lay out the steps it will take to complete the job. A bathroom remodel will not only update your home -- it will also likely increase the value when you sell your house. Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Bathroom Style

    • Begin by identifying the style of the bathroom you envision and base your purchase decisions around this. Choose the color, the vanity and the bathroom fixtures on the style you selected. Gather pictures from magazines of ideas that you like and pick a consistent look.

    Layout

    • Decide on the layout for the bathroom. If you plan to move any plumbing, see if permits are needed to complete your remodeling job. For small bathrooms where layout may stay the same, use mirrors to visually enlarge the space.

    Contractor

    • Once layout and fixtures are decided on, hire a contractor. Get referrals from friends who have had successful remodels. Obtain written estimates from at least three different licensed contractors and choose one that has a good reputation.
