Remodeling a bathroom might seem like a relatively small project, but there is more that goes into it than you might think. Bathroom remodeling companies in MA work closely with homeowners to ensure they are prepared for everything the process entails.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to MA bathroom remodeling from our team at All Work Construction.
Inspiration and Planning
Before you start any work, you have to decide what you want. Look at lifestyle magazines and websites, or check out what your friends and family have for inspiration. Before making any firm decisions, set a budget so you only choose features and options you can afford. When setting your budget, factor in the price of materials as well as labor costs. In your budget, you should include a buffer to account for unforeseen expenses.
Hiring Professionals
Once you know what you want and what you can afford, it’s time to start comparing bathroom remodeling companies. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations, and get quotes from all the companies you are considering.
Demolition and Preparation
Depending on your personal skill level and the condition of your bathroom, you may be able to do the demolition and preparation work yourself. However, to ensure you don’t do any damage, we think this step is best left to the professionals.
Plumbing and Electrical Work
How difficult the plumbing and electrical work will be depends on the layout of the new bathroom as compared to the old bathroom. If everything is more or less in the same place, you really only have to hook up the new features. However, if the layout is significantly different, pipes and wiring will have to be added. This is also a good opportunity to upgrade the plumbing and electrical to ensure everything is efficient and up to code.
Fixtures, Cabinetry, and Flooring
Once the plumbing and electrical are ready, we can install fixtures and fittings, such as bathtubs and sinks. During this step, we also install your new cabinetry, tile, and flooring.
Finishing Touches and Cleanup
At this stage, we’re nearly finished. All that remains are the finishing touches, like mirrors, lighting fixtures, trim, paint, and grout lines. On their own, these items seem insignificant, but together they elevate your bathroom from a functional space to a luxury oasis.
Once everything is installed and the finishing touches are in place, we do a final inspection and clean up the work area. Your new bathroom awaits!
