A Comprehensive Bathroom Remodel Checklist

Taking on a bathroom remodel can seem overwhelming, but with the right bathroom remodel checklist in hand, it can be an organized, smooth process, that leaves you with your dream bathroom. There are many factors to consider when taking on a bathroom remodel, and it is important to keep track of all of the moving parts in order to finish on budget and on time with a final product you love. To help you be as organized and prepared as possible, we have developed a remodeling a bathroom checklist. Use the below checklist to help you plan your bathroom remodel and make your dream bathroom a reality.
 
Determine Your Ideal Bathroom Space
The first step in beginning a bathroom remodel is to figure out exactly what you want the end result to look like from design to layout. Do you want to completely change the bathroom layout or work with the existing footprint? From there, you can determine which changes are must-haves and which are desirable but could be cut if they exceed the budget. Try to plan out every detail of your future bathroom, whether big or small. This will set you up for a successful bathroom remodel.
 
Set Your Budget
Once you have decided how you want your bathroom remodel to turn out, next move on to your budget. How much money are you willing and able to spend on achieving the bathroom of your dreams? You will need to figure out that number out prior to making decisions about what changes will be feasible to undertake while remaining within your budget.
 
It is important to consider the materials and finishes you want prior to beginning your remodel to ensure that everything aligns with your budget. Making last minute upgrades for finishes and materials will cause the budget to be exceeded. Another tip to keep in mind is that you will want to set aside 10-15% of your budget as a buffer for any additional expenses you may incur throughout the project. Even the most detailed plans encounter unexpected costs, so to offset those expenses it is important to be prepared from the very beginning.
