Bathroom Install: Stress-Free

So, it is time for a new bathroom. Install a bath or shower? Add an extra sink? What brand of toilet and sink hardware? Where should the toilet go? Is it possible to put tile on the walls behind the sink? There are so many things to consider during remodeling.

One of the first things you need to do is hire a trustworthy, efficient contractor. If you have not hired a contractor in a while and do not know where to start, check with family and friends. Occasionally, you will find a great contractor just by following-up on recommendations.

If you do not have recommendations to go off of, check with the local Better Business Bureau. They should be able to give you a few names of different contractors in your area with a good reputation. Call these contractors and talk with them about your ideas and your project. Ask them for references on past clients.

If the references check out for the contractor you are interested in, find out if they will stop by your home for an estimate. Any respectable contractor should offer a free estimate; double check before scheduling the appointment to confirm. Make sure you are prepared to talk with the contractor about your ideas when he or she stops by your home.

Once you have lined up your contractor, are satisfied with the estimate and time-line they give you, it is time to get to work. The contractor will need you to decide what colors, brands and designs you will want to go with. Of course, your contractor will give you his or her professional opinion on your bathroom install process.

The contractor will likely be able to guide you when choosing toilet, shower, bathtub, sink and cabinet brands. They may have a relationship with some of the manufacturers and could offer you a discount on certain brands. This is a great way to save money and have quality hardware installed.

Of course, the process of choosing the way your bathroom install looks can be simplified if you find a contractor that does it all. Finding a business that brings in an electrician for the recessed lighting, a plumber for the bidet and floor specialist for the tile will help you speed up the process and save money on your bathroom install.

An all-inclusive contractor provides savings because they can efficiently complete the job. You will not have to wait for the electrician to come in; the contractor will be able to provide that in a timely manner. In the end, you can expect the whole remodeling process to completed more quickly with an all-inclusive installation process.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the bathroom install process, do not stress. There is a solution waiting for you in a local contractor. Hiring a contractor can simplify your remodeling process and ease any stress you might have.
