                   REMODELING YOUR BATHROOM?         

  

WHAT’S NEW, WHAT’S HOT, WHAT’S NOT!

   

Say goodbye to the old pink and black plastic wall tiles. No more ugly brass faucets. Tired of looking at cracked floor tiles, a green toilet? A bathroom remodel can give you luxuries you never dreamed of: whirlpool bathtub jets, oscillating rain showerheads, energy efficient LED lighting, water-conserving low-flow toilets, additional storage, even heated towel bars. There’s even a "singing showerhead" that includes a wireless speaker. Maybe a power-surge toilet is something to consider if Little Bobby thinks it’s fun to see what’s flushable...or not.

   Consider heating under floor tiles and never experience an icy shock when you exit the shower. Cabinets offer pull-down laundry hampers with inserts, great for messy damp towels. Sinks, tubs, even toilets come in every imaginable design. Plumbing hardware can be bold and geometric, or curved and elegant. Many new designs are available with touchless on/off features. New electrical outlets have built-in USB ports, so you can charge your phone and tablet while you dress and still use your electric shaver or hair dryer.  Bathrooms can be kid-friendly or made accessible to those with handicaps. Know what you need as well as what you want when considering a bathroom remodel.

   Want a Victorian boudoir atmosphere complete with claw-foot tub? Or maybe an ultra-sleek raised bowl-type sink with fixtures that look like hematite? Perhaps the elegance and simplicity of a luxury spa experience? It’s all out there, waiting to be installed. Next to the kitchen (or maybe even before) your bathroom is the most important room in the house, so before you remodel, do your homework.

   Even though almost everything you could possible think of for you're bathroom is available online, rather than print out picture by picture, do some window-shopping. Your local home improvement center will have magazines that feature the latest in bathroom layouts and materials. Browse the aisles for inspiration: Tiles, flooring, lighting. Don’t forget to view bathroom fixtures, and if you don’t see what you like, consider stopping by bathroom show rooms, tile outlets, lighting showrooms. Many will have brochures you can take home and consider. Pick up home magazines at the supermarket or head to the library for more ideas.

   Once you decide on design, check out bathroom remodeling contractor’s websites, most will have ample information and photographs to further inspire you. Get an estimate and ASK QUESTIONS! Does your contractor have innovative ideas? Will he suggest things to make your remodeling project more comfortable, cost-effective and work with your concept? Can he help you find the best prices on materials and fixtures? Does he have a working knowledge of the latest bathroom innovations & technology?

   Look for extras that your contractor includes: Cement board behind wall tile, sealed grout, custom tile patterns. Make sure his company is licensed, bonded and insured. See what reviews his company has received. Is he really interested in giving you your dream bathroom remodel, or is this just another job?

   When you finally have your dream bathroom, don’t forget to give your bathroom remodeling contractor a fair review. His company depends on satisfied customers and his customers depend on reviews from people who know his work ethic and are pleased with the results they received.
