 Ways to Lower Your Bathroom Remodel Project Costs

Don’t be too upset and demotivated with high costs on your home improvement project. There are plenty of options to lower your costs and reliable general contractor or home remodeling professional can guide you to the right direction to optimize and minimize general project expenses.

• Go Bigger – Usually large tile is much easier to install and contractor will charge much less for this job in comparison to complicated mosaic tile with complex layout. Subway tile is always a good choice to go with dozens of colors and textures.

• Reduce Moving – Changes to layout and relocation of plumbing fixtures causes a lot of extra work and increases cost of your project. Try to stick to same layout in your bathroom remodel to minimize overall expense.

• Select Prefabricated – Ordering regular prefab vanity will save you a decent amount of money versus custom built unit. Custom cabinetry and vanity are for a high range bathroom renovation budget. Thanks to modern technologies and hundreds of available budget manufacturers – you can absolutely get same amazing quality as custom unit.

• Consider some DIY work – If you are a handy person and love to be involved in all stages of any remodel project in your home or apartment, you can always go with certain amount of work done on your own. It is highly recommended to use a licensed and experienced contractor, plumber, electrician to perform the job but it’s always possible to do some fraction of project without professional help.
