Your bathroom is the most important room in the house – why not give it an upgrade?

From updating plumbing fixtures to completing a top-to-bottom bathroom remodel, we handle it all.
A dingy, outdated bathroom can be a real blemish to an otherwise lovely home. Often the answer to this problem is a total bathroom remodel, which has a number of benefits, both aesthetic and practical. While there are many parts of the home that may need attention, the bathroom or bathrooms should be at the top of your list for a remodel. Here are 3 reasons for why should consider remodeling a bathroom:
From new appliances, fixtures, countertops and lighting options, there is a lot to consider when remodeling a bathroom. However, the most important feature of your bathroom is its functionality. Good plumbing is what keeps a beautiful bathroom working in proper order, so when making plans for your updated bathroom, take extra care when it comes to the pipes. A foolproof way to ensure every plumbing fixture is installed correctly is to hire a professional plumber. Here are some plumbing-related choices you may need to make when remodeling your bathroom:
When it comes to sinks, options for styles and features are virtually endless. There are two main styles of sinks you can choose from. The first is a complete sink system that comes with its own fixtures with an integrated faucet or handle. These styles involve fewer pieces and generally require less labor. The other type of sink features three-hole setups for you to install your own sink fixtures. This is recommended for those who are interested in total customization of the appliance.
You have a myriad of options when choosing the right materials for your sink. Vitreous porcelain is most common, but other potential selections can include marble, hammered bronze, copper and more.
Take care to adjust your budget when considering the style and material you want for your bathtub. A tub alone can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands, depending on the type and size. Traditional bathtubs can be made with a number of materials, including acrylic, cast iron and fiberglass. Other options, such as marble, are more unique but will cost extra.
If you’re looking to replace your bathtub entirely, it is highly recommended that you hire a professional plumber who will do the job right. Poor installation of a bathtub can cause expensive water damage and mildew growth that may undermine the entire remodel.
Toilets manufactured before the 1990s in the United States use an excessive amount of water, so replacing it with a new model will not only improve the look of your bathroom, but also reduce your water usage to lower your monthly water bill. It’s possible to change the location of your toilet in your bathroom, but it will cost you more money to plumb new water lines.
