Ways to keep your bathroom renovation under budget
Bathroom remodeling in Evanston can get very costly if you’re not careful about maintaining your budget. But there are some things you can do to make sure you keep your costs down while still getting the results you want for your bathroom space.
Here are just a few ideas you can use for your bathroom remodel in Evanston to save money.
Retrofitting
By leaving the “guts” of your bathroom in place rather than completely changing their orientation, you can save a considerable amount of money on your bathroom renovation. It’s no secret that bathroom remodeling contractors charge for labor, so the less labor you give them, the less you will pay. So retrofitting your new bathroom features into your existing bathroom cuts the labor significantly, and hence, the cost of the work.
It is so much easier to install sinks and showers where plumbing already exists. If you want to reconfigure the bathroom, moving the plumbing around is labor-intensive.
Plan Out Your Tiling
While you may find cheap tiles somewhere, it’s not necessarily the cost of each tile that adds up quickly. Tile installation adds a great deal of labor and your overall cost will jump quite a bit. So to avoid the added cost that invariably all remodeling companies in Evanston will charge for tiling, have a plan. If you can do without tiling an entire wall that is not exposed directly to water, that can save you considerable money.
Keep it Simple
There are always more things you can add to make your bathroom remodeling in Evanston look perfect, but less is more in this case. You need to face the fact that you can’t possibly have it all, especially in one little bathroom, so it’s OK to say “No” to some additional features that would fit beautifully into the space.
Don’t overfill the bathroom with all kinds of things that technically go together or you may find that you blew your budget on a bathroom that looks cluttered.
Most remodeling contractors in Evanston will give you their honest opinion when it comes to keeping your budget down. So speak to them first before deciding on anything that could take you over budget.
