Remodeling your bathroom offers numerous benefits, from enhancing energy efficiency to updating the appearance. At Seven Valley Home Renovations, bathroom remodels are one of our specialties. We can execute your design vision and complete each project using a team of trained and licensed tradesmen. Here are several things to know before starting a bathroom remodeling project with us:
Planning and Design
The preconstruction phase is key to making sure your bathroom remodeling project meets your functional needs and style preferences. It includes planning your budget, establishing your priorities, and choosing a design style and layout. Review why you’re completing the bathroom renovation, whether it involves creating more storage or improving the space’s lighting. This step helps you identify your priorities before beginning the project. Think about who will be using the bathroom and their specific needs. Your main family bathroom may have different requirements than a guest bathroom, such as double sinks and extra countertop space for getting ready each day. If you have elderly family members or plan to age in place, you can also incorporate accessibility features such as grab bars, walk-in showers, and non-slip flooring.
Assess the best use of your available space to enhance the bathroom’s functionality. This step may involve rearranging the layout or expanding the bathroom if space allows. Plan for adequate storage, such as built-in cabinets, shelves, and vanity units, to keep the bathroom organized and clutter-free. Our team can take accurate measurements to help plan the layout and make sure each fixture fits properly.
Decide on a cohesive design style that reflects your taste, whether modern, traditional, or minimalist. Our in-house designers at Seven Valley Home Renovations can help you coordinate your preferred style with different design components like cabinets and countertops. We can use your inspiration photos or provide professional recommendations to help you gather ideas and visualize your ideal bathroom.
Materials and Fixtures
Before starting your bathroom remodeling project, choose appropriate materials and fixtures for the space. Water-resistant materials like ceramic tiles and vinyl may suit high-moisture environments like bathrooms. They can help make it easier to clean up drips and puddles after washing hands or showering. Look for materials available in coordinating color schemes or patterns, as this allows you to customize your floor, shower, or backsplash to match your overall design style. When using paint, choose a high-quality, moisture-resistant product designed for bathrooms to help prevent mold and mildew. If you plan to use hot hair tools in the bathroom, look for durable and heat-resistant materials for your countertop. Our team at Seven Valley can recommend suitable materials and connect with local suppliers to satisfy your design needs.
When choosing fixtures, think about your sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. Select a sink that fits your style and space, such as a pedestal or wall-mounted sink. Look for toilets that optimize water efficiency and have a comfortable height. Evaluate bathtubs and shower accessibility for ease of cleaning. Options can include freestanding tubs, walk-in showers, and shower-tub combos. Once you’ve chosen your main bathroom appliances, select faucets and showerheads that match your overall design aesthetic.
Timeline and Preparation
To promote a smooth process, create a timeline and complete any required preparation work before your project begins. This step involves applying for building permits and clearing the bathroom of personal items, furniture, and old fixtures. To better understand the scope of your project, our team will complete an inspection and walk-through of your space. This allows us to provide you with an estimate and timeline before starting your remodel. Some steps to expect in our remodeling timeline include the initial design, demolition, and installation.
