Bathroom remodeling is a big job, but it can be worth it in a big way. If you want to remodel and are looking for a reason to do so, or if you have a sneaking suspicion that it’s time to make some changes, these reasons to invest in a bathroom remodel will give you the justification you need to go for it.
Your life is different now.
You bought the house when it was just you and your partner, but now you have a toddler and are expecting another child. Your small bathroom is already too small for one toddler to take a bath, so adding another one will make things even harder. Or maybe you’re done having kids, are ready to retire, and want to stay in your home as you get older. Or perhaps you’re taking in a roommate to help pay the rent and need more space to yourself.No matter what has changed in your life, if your bathroom isn’t up to par, that’s a good sign it’s time to remodel it.
Added Value
Updates that are done well often raise a home’s value and make it more desirable when it’s time to sell. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry says that if you do a good job remodeling your bathroom, you will get back 50% of the money you put into it. People want nice bathrooms, and one that looks old or doesn’t do what it does should turn them off.
Better use of time
If your bathroom is old, it probably doesn’t use energy as well as it could. Too much-wasted water, bad lighting, and other things make the space less fun to be in and waste a lot of money. Now is a good time to think about toilets, showers, and other things that use less energy. Also, mildew and mold could be a problem if your bathroom is old enough that it doesn’t have enough airflow.
Make things safer.
When you redo your bathroom, it’s a good time to think about how safe it is. Accessible bathrooms are a good idea if you want to stay in your home as you age or if you might want to sell it someday. During a bathroom remodel, you can install a shower with no steps to make it easier to get in and out. You can also think about tiles that don’t slip, handrails, shower seats, and other things.
Repair Damage
A leak caused damage from water. mold damage from the air that doesn’t move. Paint damage caused by a curious toddler with a butter knife Cracked tile from when your teen thought it would be a good idea to lift weights (and drop them) in the bathroom…
No matter what caused the damage in your bathroom, you should fix it before it gets worse.
It does not appear to be attractive.
Time just goes by, you know. Styles come and go. And if bathrooms don’t change with the times, you’ll wake up one morning and think, “This bathroom doesn’t look good anymore.” Everyone goes through it, and now is as good a time as any to remodel the bathroom.
You deserve to love your space.
