It’s no secret that remodeling your bathroom is a great financial investment for your home. Remodeling your bathroom is one of the best home remodeling projects you can do to increase the resale value of your home.
But, it’s not an easy task, and there are many details you should think about before you get started. Otherwise, you may end up wasting a ton of money on fixing errors. Before you get started with remodeling your bathroom, here are 5 important things you should think about:
1. The Layout of your Bathroom
Before you start remodeling your bathroom, think about your layout and make a plan! Think about the layout and style of your current bathroom and think about what you want to improve.
Is there cracked tile or is your shower leaking? Do you need to install new cabinets? Are you constantly bumping into things? Is your sink too low or high? Think about all of these things before you start your remodeling project.

2. Plumbing
Many people think that it’s easy to move your shower, sink, or toilet to a different place in your bathroom. But actually, it’s very costly to move the plumbing around in your bathroom.
If you are willing to shell out a lot of money to move your toilet, then it may be a good option. But if you’re on a budget or want the project to be finished more quickly, keep the plumbing in the same places.
3. Ventilation System
If it takes a long time for your windows to air out after taking a warm shower, it may be time to upgrade your ventilation system. Having a system to reduce mold and mildew is extremely important not just for overall health reasons, but for adding resale value to your home. Adding a fan and also adding a window to your bathroom will certainly help keep mold and mildew out.
South Eastern Carpentry can update your current ventilation system and install new windows in your bathroom if needed. We ensure the highest quality of installation when it comes to windows and ventilation systems.
4. Tub, Shower, Toilet, and Sink
Consider whether you should upgrade your toilet, sink, bathtub or shower. It may be necessary to tear it all out and add in completely new plumbing fixtures.
Think about the age and condition of your current plumbing fixtures. If any of them are lacking in functionality, it’s definitely time for an upgrade. And, if any of them are leaking, it is definitely important to replace them or it could lead to mold and mildew formation.
If you are selling your home, consider upgrading to more expensive or higher-end plumbing fixtures. New, high-end plumbing fixtures make your bathroom stand out and will likely raise the resale value of your home.
5. Lighting
Consider your current bathroom lighting and decide any lighting changes if necessary. Having lighting over mirrors or over the tub and shower gives a great look to a bathroom. While not necessary in all cases, upgrading your bathroom lighting can make your bathroom look cleaner and more appealing.
