There is nothing quite like a newly remodeled bath, all clean and sparkling and efficient in the use of space. There are ways to accomplish this and save some money, time and frustration, it just takes a little planning up front before bathroom remodeling in Rockville takes place.

Design and plan first:

This seems to be very basic but there are many people who start having the bathroom torn apart with no fixed plans on how it will be put back together. Bathrooms are normally the smallest room in the house but they include all the services and these services are usually closely clustered, you cannot afford to neglect the location of the services because changing them can add a great deal of additional expense. If you are thinking of moving the toilet even a foot, you are looking at more money because the incoming water service has to be relocated as does the sewer connection pipe.

Go simple:

It is in the best interest of the suppliers and contractors for you to go up-market with all the various components that go into bathroom remodeling in Rockville. Obviously these folks have a vested interest in you paying for the most expensive components.

Assume you are installing a shower stall in your new bathroom. Although a frameless glass stall looks beautiful, it is solid and it dresses up the room; it also costs a fortune. A framed shower stall can perform the same function for a great deal less and they are also very attractive. This thinking is true with the countertops, floors and cabinets; do they have to be granite, marble and solid wood?

Ventilation:

Ventilation is neither pretty nor sexy but it is something that should be at the top of the list as poor ventilation can knock years off the life expectancy of your newly renovated bathroom. Without proper ventilation, mold and mildew quickly set in and ruin the work that has been recently completed. Make sure good ventilation fans are included in the project, today’s fans are quick, powerful and quiet, far different than the one you will take out.

Get help:

Even the simplest bathroom remodeling project can be challenging and although you may be able to lay a ceramic floor or paint the walls, you will be money ahead if you have the project done by professionals.

For professional bathroom remodeling in Rockville you are invited to discuss your plans and budget with American Bath Inc, serving the region since 1987.
