There is nothing more exciting than a bathroom renovation. Upgrading one’s bathrooms improves one’s quality of life and helps to increase the property value of your home. Even if you want to renovate your bathroom, you might be a little hesitant at first. You know the benefits will be worth it… but we understand the hesitation. However, we are here to help you learn about the many benefits of bathroom renovations that will have you as excited as we are to start the process! Whether you want to add a new vanity to your bathroom for added space or you want a complete renovation, we are here to help you learn more about the benefits of bathroom renovations.
There are many reasons to renovate your bathroom, but the main reason is that you want it to fit your needs. Whether this is creating more space, adding new features, or adding large pieces, such as showers and tubs, bathroom renovation can include as much or as little work as you desire. No matter what you decide, renovating your bathroom in any magnitude will help modernize your home and add value to it. In fact, that is one of the first benefits of bathroom renovations! If you are thinking of selling your home, a bathroom can be a deal breaker for potential buyers. Giving an update to the bathrooms in your home is crucial to getting some nibbles on the market.
When we think of energy efficiency, we don’t typically think of our bathrooms as a culprit undermining efficiency. However, toilets that are over ten years old use more water and can end up leaking if anything breaks down after years of use. Regardless, you will have a high bill coming from that toilet–be it from excessive water use or repairs. Newer toilet models of today can use up to 20 percent less water, giving you 20 percent more water savings each month. You can save up to 13,000 gallons of water annually, to boot! We can also help you reduce shower water usage as well with an upgrade. As you can see, bathroom renovations have a variety of benefits other than aesthetics alone.
Another one of the benefits of bathroom renovations is that they ensure that your bathroom is a safe dwelling. Faulty or outdated fixtures can malfunction and leave you in the dark or with a disaster waiting to happen. And as we age, some of those older fixtures may not be the most efficient or safe as we age in place and own our homes long-term. Updating the bathroom space with your future needs in mind is a great idea now instead of costly repairs later on.
Mold is also another culprit that can wreak havoc on your bathroom. Since these spaces are inherently humid, they are susceptible to mold. The shower is one hot spot in particular for mold. Remodeling a bathroom so that it is properly insulated ensures that fungus will not return, and that your home will be happy and safe for years to come.
