Beginner's Guide to Bathroom Renovation: Do's and Don'ts

November 2, 2023

Renovating a bathroom may seem like a daunting task. Changes to layout, plumbing, fixtures, and finishes can all add complexity and cost. However, when done correctly, a bathroom renovation can add significant value to your home and provide a space of comfort and relaxation.


At Above & Beyond Remodeling, we specialize in turning bathroom renovation dreams into reality. To help put you on the right track for success, we've compiled a list of our top Do's and Don’ts for a successful bathroom renovation.


Understand Your Space


Do: Always take the time to grasp the square footage you're working with. A well-designed bathroom should be functional and stylish regardless of its size.


Don't: Don't try to overfill your space with unnecessary fixtures.


Plumbing Decisions


Do: Always consider upgrading your plumbing during a renovation, especially if your home is older.


Don't: Don't neglect the importance of a qualified plumber. Incorrect plumbing not only jeopardizes the functionality of your bathroom but also may result in severe damage to your property.


Effective Lighting


Do: Incorporate adequate task and ambient lighting that aligns with the size and layout of your bathroom.


Don't: Don't underestimate the power of natural light during the daytime. If possible, try to make use of windows and skylights.


Selecting the Right Material


Do: Choose materials that are durable and resistant to water, especially for your countertops, tiles, and walls.


Don't: Skimp on quality. Cheap materials may save money in the short run, but they'll likely need replacing sooner and may end up costing more in the long run.


Money Matters


Do: Establish a realistic budget before you begin the renovation. Remember to account for the cost of materials, labor, and any unexpected expenses that may arise.


Don't: Don't start the renovation without a spending plan in place. It can lead to financial strain and may result in your project being stalled.


In essence, a bathroom renovation should not be taken lightly. These do's and don'ts will help you navigate the complexities of a renovation project, but nothing can replace the expertise and experience of a professional team like Above & Beyond Remodeling. We're committed to bringing your vision to life while ensuring that the renovation process is seamless and within budget.
