Bathrooms are the easiest area to make a drastic update in. Since bathrooms are the smallest area of the home, a bathroom remodel is typically a lower lift than in other spaces. Being relatively easy to update also makes them a great place to take risks and follow trends. While contractors and designers are there to help you through the process, it’s recommended to do a little bit of prep work before your remodel consultation. Keep reading for our bathroom remodel checklist, outlining what you should come to your first meeting prepared to discuss. This will make sure you get the most out of the meeting, and start the project with a clear direction.
Think About Your Style
While you don’t need to have all of the details hammered out, you should come to your first meeting with at least a general idea of the style you are going for in the space. It’s always very helpful to come to the meeting with visual examples, from your Pinterest board, a magazine, Instagram, or wherever you browse for home inspiration. Would you like something modern, or something more traditional? We can help you work through product selection, but knowing the style you’re envisioning lets us know where to start. Your bathroom should reflect your personal style and needs, so don’t be afraid to get creative and think outside the box.
Have Key Features & Elements in Mind
Do you want a walk-in shower, a free standing tub, or both? Are you installing a vanity? Would you like to change out the flooring? Part of speaking with a contractor is understanding pricing, so don’t feel like you need to have made any final decisions before the meeting. But having ideas of the major changes you’d like to make is important so that a pricing conversation can happen.
Set a Budget
Speaking of pricing, having a budget going into the contractor meeting helps us to have a productive first discussion. Budget is an important piece for our designers and contractors to create their recommendations and assist you with product selection.
