The Homeowner’s Guide to Bathroom Updates

Thinking of renovating your bathroom? You’re not alone! Bathroom updates are one of the most popular home improvement projects, and it’s easy to see why. After all, it’s exciting to transform an otherwise mundane space into something special.

But don’t go searching for a hard-hat and sledgehammer, at least, not yet. Before jumping into a new renovation, you should have a plan in place. However, designing this plan is easier said than done. And without previous experience under your belt, you’re bound to have a few questions like:

  • What should I do to ensure a seamless bathroom update?
  • Do I really need a general contractor for a bathroom remodel?
  • How can I find experienced, reliable labor for my new renovation?

In this guide, we’ll answer all of these questions (and more) so you can have a bathroom that looks, feels, and performs like new. Keep reading, here’s what you need to know before taking the plunge into a new restroom renovation.

From Concept to Reality: Executing the Perfect Residential Bathroom Update

When approaching a restroom update, most homeowners have a few concerns. Here are three frequently asked questions you need to know how to answer.

What Should I Do to Ensure a Seamless Bathroom Update?

To ensure a seamless bathroom update, consider the following actions:

  • Plan Ahead: Before starting any major renovation project, it’s important to plan ahead. Figure out what features you would like in your updated bathroom—new flooring, light fixtures, countertops, etc.—and create a timeline of when each element should be completed. This will help ensure that everything gets done in the right order and that no unexpected surprises arise during the process.
  • Choose Quality Materials: Selecting high-quality materials is essential for a successful bathroom update. Make sure to do research on different material options such as tile, countertop surfaces, cabinetry or shower systems to find out which ones will work best for you and your needs
  • Have a Plan B: Even with the best-laid plans, something may go wrong during the renovation process—from delays in material shipments to a contractor falling ill—so it’s important to have a backup plan in place just in case something does happen. This could be as simple as having an extra set of tools on hand or talking through potential solutions with your contractor before beginning the project.
  • Set Your Budget: Before you start, determine how much money you can realistically spend on your project. This will help ensure that you stay within budget and don’t overspend on unnecessary items or materials.
  • Hire a Professional: Remodeling your bathroom is a big job, and it’s important to hire someone with the right experience to do it right. Look for professionals who specialize in bathroom renovations and have plenty of experience in this type of work.

Do I Really Need a General Contractor for a Bathroom Remodel?

With the help of a professional contractor, the whole process runs much smoother. Put simply, whether you’re planning a major renovation or just a few minor updates, you need outside help to complete it in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Here are three key benefits of working with a general contractor on your bathroom update.

1. Expert Guidance
With years of experience in managing residential remodels, a general contractor will know how to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They can assist in selecting quality materials that fit within your budget and advise on any potential issues that may arise during construction.

2. Streamlined Processes
With one point of contact for everything related to your bathroom update, you won’t have to worry about coordinating multiple subcontractors. A general contractor will ensure all necessary permits are obtained, and that the project is completed to your satisfaction.

3. Cost Savings
Hiring a general contractor can save you time and money in the long run. They will take care of purchasing materials and subcontracting services, so you won’t have to deal with negotiating prices or shopping around for deals. Their experience in construction also ensures that any potential problems can be addressed in the most cost-effective way possible.

There’s no way around it, creating your dream home is a significant undertaking. While you might’ve loved that bathroom just 5-10 years ago—today it feels outdated—and you find yourself wanting more. Luckily, with RSP Group’s residential remodeling services, it’s never been easier to build your dream home.

Let’s Get Started

How Can I Find Experienced, Reliable Contractors to Remodel My Bathroom?

Finding experienced and reliable contractors, like RSP, can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. With these simple steps, it’s never been easier to find the right fit for your bathroom update.

  • Conduct Basic Research: First and foremost, research local contractors in your area. Read online reviews, speak with past customers, or ask your friends or family who they’ve used in the past.
  • Ask for References: Once you’ve narrowed down your list, contact each contractor and ask for references. A good bathroom remodel contractor will be able to provide multiple references from satisfied customers. If they can’t, that’s a red flag.
  • Schedule In-Person Meetings or Assessments: You should also schedule an assessment or in-person meeting with your contractors before hiring them. Ask questions about their experience level and the materials used, as this helps ensure that you get the best quality of work.
  • Trust Your Gut: Lastly, when it comes time to hire a contractor, trust your gut instinct. If something doesn’t feel right or honesty seems to be hard to find, don’t be afraid to walk away.
