Renovations Tips from a Plumber

A PLUMBERS VIEW OF BATHROOM RENOVATIONS: INCLUDING TIPS AND UPDATES



Of course, you want to stay on top of the newest in bathroom trends as a homeowner. Improving your bathroom not only makes it look better but it also adds value to your home. There are many ways to do this and getting advice from a professional before you begin should be your starting point.

The Budget

Our first tip at Dixon Plumbing is to know and make a budget. This can help you with the tone and scope of the project. For instance, replacing faucets and your toilet is far less costly than installing a garden tub or rearranging the layout. Once you know your budget, be it a one thing at a time or enough to do the ultimate in spa bathroom changes, you will know best how to proceed.

Knowing the next steps!

Bathroom renovation is not simple. You may have great DIY skills, but sometimes this alone is not enough to complete a large renovation. By calling a professional plumber you can accomplish major renovations especially where water is concerned. In most cases you save money by having a professional in on the project with you; they will get the job done right, safely and up to code, ( this is important if you want to sell your house later).

Where to start

We find that most homeowners start with the bathtub and shower. This typically involves tiling in these areas. Many times adding a showerhead with multiple choices is a great way to add something new to your shower experience. Clawfoot tubs are also being used often to create that antique or classic feel.

Changing knobs and other bathroom hardware is an easy and inexpensive way to change your bathroom with out the headaches of major demolition and high budgets. Paint also gives you a lot of bang for your buck and make the bathroom feel new and upgraded.

But Did You Know?

Many times, bathroom renovation requires permits. Your plumbing professional is licensed and knows how to get the applicable permits and will be responsible for scheduling any necessary inspections. A beautiful new bathroom renovation really should be handled by the professionals.
