The bathroom is one of the busiest parts of a home, so a bathroom remodel can have a large and positive impact on your lifestyle. But can a bathroom remodel improve your home’s value? In this post, BFARR Contracting, the number one window replacement and home remodeling company in our local area, discusses whether or not a bathroom remodel is a smart move money-wise.
Factors That Affect the Cost of a Remodel
The cost of your bathroom remodel depends on several factors including the contractor you hire, the materials you use, the current condition of your bathroom, the scope of the project and the timeframe. However, you need to keep in mind that currently, modest mid-range improvements bring higher returns than an upscale remodel. If the added value to your home is your top priority, then we suggest focusing on fixing problems and on updating the right bathroom fixtures.
Bathroom Projects With a Good ROI
Bathrooms are usually deal-breakers in a home sale but they won’t necessarily recoup at resale everything you spent to update it. However, a bathroom remodel is one of the higher return projects you can do. As an experienced bathroom remodeler and commercial roofer, we recommend the following small projects for the best return on your investment.
- Flooring – Updating your bathroom flooring is one of the best ways to improve its appearance. Fortunately, you can cut project costs by focusing on just this part of the bathroom. There are many affordable flooring materials that can imitate premium materials like wood or stone.
- Tub/Shower – The current trend right now is to convert the bathtub in the master bathroom into a large walk-in shower. Soaking tubs are still a valuable feature, but whirlpool jet bathtubs aren’t. However, trends can change, so we recommend doing your research and talking to professionals like us before making a final decision on your project.
- Vanity – Updating the vanity or adding a vanity to a bathroom is one of the best projects you can do if you want a big return on your investment. Vanities are both beautiful and functional so many homeowners list it as one of the features they want in a bathroom.
