Secret # 1: Have a Plan!
Do you head into a long expensive trip without a roadmap? Of course not! That is unless it is expected to surprises on the road.
Well, in remodeling the bathroom, the only surprises are disastrous. Finding out what you want before you begin. Put in a paper with your designer or contractor. Figure out:
- What is design?
- What are exactly the products you want?
- What colors are you using?
Answer and document all these responses before a single hammer hits the wall of your bathroom.
Secret # 2: Do not start your bathroom remodeling until you have everything you need!
So its contractor destroys the bathroom (the only one at home by the way) and then decide to say that the tile you picked that I thought I would come in the day today is delayed 6 weeks.
This is NOT a good scenario, but a too often true. Order of the products. Get them delivered. Open the boxes. And make sure that are the right color, not broken and they fit correctly before you let anyone break your bathroom.
Secret # 3: Hire a professional. All contractors are equal
A remodeling project is one of the largest investments you can make in your life and home. For example, a bathroom remodel built properly can return more than 132% of the amount invested.
In contrast, a poorly constructed project can create damage that far exceeds the savings you thought had enjoyed by hiring "the man of your friend used to paint his room."
Protect your assets and personal belongings to hire a licensed and insured contractor to remodel your bathroom. Require a contract that states exactly what you are getting a "price guarantee" (a professional should be able to say exactly what it will cost) and a guaranteed time frame. Tell them to put their money where their mouth is and sign a penalty clause if not completed in time. In this way, you will discover that the real professionals are.
Secret # 4: Hire Experience!
Jacks of all crafts abound in the remodeling and construction industry. Everyone wants to be all things to all people. You do not hire a heart surgeon to make work for the nose, why do you hire a kitchen specialist to remodel your bathroom. Hiring someone who specializes in remodeling projects Amenities will result in a higher quality, more efficient and timely project. Do not let your doctor perform a chin implant.
Secret # 5: Let your contractor purchase all the materials
Yes, you can save some money if you buy that tub and put yourself in the trunk of his BMW. The problem is that most owners do not know what to buy, which fits with the type or quantity to buy. Do you really have time to go to and from the house plumbing to return the wrong thing and get the right ... five times!
Secret # 6: Do not make changes!
The changes are the main cause of the remodeling of nightmares. You've done everything right so far. You've followed the last five secrets, but you can not help themselves and make changes during construction.
Well ... all bets are off.
The schedule flies off the track, the contractor can not manage their time and new materials must be purchased. The key to not making changes is to love your plan and be sure that your team know exactly what you want.
Yes, back to secret # 1: having a plan. But not only there is one ... LOVE IT! Do not sign a contract until all products, color and design is exactly what you want and then let the professionals go to work.
Thus that, there you have six secrets to successfully remodeling your bathroom. I am sure that if you follow these six secrets, you will increase your chances success of the refurbishment of one hundred fold.
