You’ve been thinking about a new luxurious bathroom for years, but never got around to seriously planning it. Now you’ve taken the first steps and the bathroom remodeling contractors are due within a month. Have you thought beyond the start of the bathroom remodel? So many people forget that during bathroom remodeling there’s an inconvenience, lack of privacy, dirt, and noise, and after the work starts, the bathroom can’t actually be used for anything! Read on for a few tips to help you get through the remodel.
Get a time estimate and expect delays!
From the start of the bathroom remodel project get a time estimate from your contractors, including a realistic completion date and time. Whatever the timeframe is that you are given, add a little more time to it in case of any unforeseen delays. Delays for your bathroom remodeling project can occur due to material supply issues, permit delays, or unexpected problems during the project.
Plan for no bathroom access
You may not have actually thought about the logistics of not having a usable bathroom at this time. Make alternative arrangements for bathroom use; even if it means using a friend’s or relative’s shower, the cleaning facilities at the gym, or the office. The bathroom needs to be completely empty before the bathroom remodeling contractors can begin the actual work. Remove all of your personal items, if you have a second bathroom put your things in there.
Consider a vacation
It can be a stressful, and unpleasant time during any kind of house remodeling. Especially if it takes days or even weeks, the house becomes full of dust, messy and noisy. It will be inconvenient not being able to use the bathroom being remodeled. Taking your family away for the time of the remodel, whether on vacation or to stay with relatives is the perfect solution, you can get away from the chaos and mess and return to a gorgeous finished bathroom.
Communicate
An essential thing is to be in communication with whoever is in charge of the bathroom remodel. They can keep you updated in terms of progress, or any problems and also give you a realistic time frame for the work completed.
