Nothing is better than a long soak in the tub or unwinding in a hot shower. If our home is our haven, then our bathrooms are places of luxurious relaxation. No wonder bathrooms are the most popular home improvement project for homeowners. A newly remodeled bathroom not only improves the quality of life but is one of the best ways to increase your’s home value. Your bathroom may one of the smallest rooms in the house, but there are big reasons to consider a remodel.

Increased Value

On average, homeowners spend just over $20,000 on a midrange bathroom renovation project, and nearly $65,000 on an upscale bathroom renovation project. At resale, midrange renovations recoup 67.2% of their costs, while upscale renovations recoup 60.2%. Other statistics estimate that bathrooms have the potential to adds much as 20% to the value of your home. It seems we all want a bathroom that is both stylish and functional, and these days home buyers are shopping for move-in-ready homes with updated bathrooms. 

Energy Savings

More than half the water used in your home is from the bathroom. That means your outdated bathtub could be draining more than dirty bathwater. Bathroom upgrades like low-flow toilets, radiant flooring, and emergency efficient lighting can save you money.  Even a simple change like a high-efficiency showerhead can cut the gallons of water you use daily by half! 

Other Considerations:

  • Low Flow Toilet
  • LED Light Bulbs
  • Energy Efficient faucet Aerator
  • Bathroom Light Sensors

Outdated

So many of us have lived in our home for years with the intent of updating our bathroom only to find that the small changes we planned to make years ago are now not enough to bring our 15-year old bathroom into the current decade. When the wallpaper is curling and the tile is not only outdated but downright ugly, it’s time to commit to a remodel. 

Other Considerations:

  • Updated Fixtures and Lighting
  • Repurposed Storage
  • High Style Vanity
  • New Shower Curtain

From mosaic tile in the shower to heated flooring and warming towel bars, our bathrooms can easily be transformed into laps of luxury. Whether you have a sprawling master bathroom or a petite powder room, small changes can make your bathroom feel like the sanctuary it should be.

Other Considerations:

  • Deep Soaking Tubs
