Comments Off on Money-Saving Bathroom Remodel Tips
Is your bathroom outdated? If so, perhaps it’s time to remodel it. However, it is understandable that not all of us have the funds to hire the best contractor for a stress- and hassle-free bathroom remodel. If this is the case, then these money-saving bathroom remodel tips might be able to help you out!
1. Leave the plumbing as is. Perhaps the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel is when you have to change the entire plumbing system. If there’s no problem with the plumbing, then leave it and work around it instead. So many people think they have to change the plumbing just because they are doing a remodel.
However, this is not the case and you only need to change the plumbing if it is not working, or you are looking for a different aesthetic look. Otherwise it is best to leave it in place, and trying to change it can create a lot of problems that did not exist before. So plumbing is the one area in a remodel that should really be considered before changing. Many remodel projects go way over cost once you get into plumbing and piping throughout your home, which also can bring into the picture a problem with leaking. And then you have an insurance claim against your homeowners insurance policy.
