Bathroom Remodeling
Sleek, free standing tubs, rain showers, quartz countertops, and heated floors can create a spa like oasis to call your own. Bathroom remodels (along with kitchen remodels) sell houses.

Homes with modern or renovated bathrooms sell at higher prices than homes with dated bathrooms.
Bathroom Remodeling Ideas & Tips
Toilets
Low Flow or Hidden Tank Toilets are high functioning toilets that save space, save water and look fantastic.
Safe Showers
Think small, textured tiles for shower floors for a safe surface to help avoid dangerous slips and falls.
Tubs
The free standing tubs are gorgeous, and a wonderful choice for homeowners that enjoy baths. But lots of people are choosing to skip the tub and opt for the massive shower. Put in what you will use, particularly if you plan on staying at least 5 years.
Windows
If you can incorporate a window in your bathroom remodel, do it. The natural ventilation and natural light are a win-win for your bathroom.
Storage
Remember medicine cabinets? Well now they come in a sleek recessed version providing amazing storage and a modern design.
Recessed Lighting
A remodel is a great time to brighten your bathroom up by adding plenty of recessed lighting. Don’t forget to add a dimmer switch for those relaxing baths.
How to Determine Your Budget
Average Costs of Bathroom Remodels
Who doesn’t love an amazing bathroom and homeowners are willing to spend money to get the bathroom of their dreams.
According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) homeowner’s are spending an average budget of $32,000 on master bathrooms renovations (including materials and labor).
However, you can get an amazing bathroom for less. As with all renovations and remodels, it really depends upon the scope of your remodel, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and whether you are choosing standard or premium finishes and fixtures.
