The payoff of bathroom remodeling can be enormous. These reasons for investing in a bathroom renovation will help you justify your decision to do so, whether you are itching to remodel, looking for an excuse to do so, or have a sneaking suspicion that it is time to make some changes.
Your life has changed
When you bought your home, it was only the two of us. Now you have a toddler and a baby in the making. You already have a small bathroom that is too cramped to bathe one toddler. Adding another will make it even harder. You may be done with raising children and ready to retire. If so, you might want to age at home. You may be taking on a roommate in order to pay your mortgage and need more privacy. If your bathroom doesn’t meet your needs, it may be time to remodel.
Add Value
Updates that are done with taste can increase the value of a house and make it more appealing to buyers. You can expect to recoup up to 50% of your investment in a quality bathroom remodel. People want beautiful bathrooms. They may be put off by outdated or non-functional ones.
More Efficiency
Your bathroom may not be using energy efficiently if it is old. The bathroom is not only a money-waster, but it’s also less pleasant to use. It’s a great time to consider energy-efficient showers, toilets and other fixtures. If your bathroom is too old and doesn’t allow for enough air circulation, it could have mildew or mold.
Increase Safety
When remodeling your bathroom, it’s a good idea to consider the safety of the area. Accessible bathrooms are good for those who plan to age at home or want to sell their house one day. Installing a zero threshold shower in a bathroom renovation will make it easier to enter and exit the shower. Consider non-slip tiles, handrails and a shower chair, among other things.
Repair Damage
Water damage caused by a leak. Mold damage due to uncirculated fresh air. Paint damage from a curious butter-knife-wielding toddler. Tiles cracked when your teenager dropped weights in the bathroom.
Take the time to renovate your bathroom before the damage gets worse.
It Doesn’t Look Good
Time just happens. Styles change. If bathrooms do not change along with styles, one day, you may wake up and think, “This bathroom does not look good anymore.” This happens to everyone. It’s a good time to invest in bathroom remodeling. You deserve to love your space.
