Bathroom Remodel. Few secrets how to save money during the remodeling process!
The average cost of a midrange gut renovation of a bathroom — replacing all the fixtures, the tiled floors, the vanity and the toilet — is now almost $16,000, according to Remodeling magazine, which tracks the cost of home renovation projects annually. And that’s the nationwide average.
If you’re planning a high-end remodel that involves moving fixtures from one side of the bathroom to the other and installing luxury peaces like heated floors, it will cost you more than $40,000 to fully completed.
Still, there are many ways to keep costs lower. Our designers and building professionals offered some tips on how to save money without loosing style in your home renovation projects.
LIMIT THE USE OF TILE
Tile installation is expensive and you can use it only on the floor and around the shower with a few inches tiled baseboard instead of covering your walls half way with tiles or in some cases all the way to the ceiling.
And instead of finished it with a border tile, you can replace it with polished aluminum trim to hide unglazed tile edges. It starts at about 8$ for an eight foot long metal strip at Home Depot.
GRANITE OR QUARTZ Don’t pay for an entire slab of granite when all you need is a small piece to cover the top of a vanity. Go directly in the store when they cut the granite or quartz and you can get a really nice peace for half price or even lower.
LOSE THE MEDICINE CABINET You can always replace the medicine cabinet with just a mirror and use hanging shelves for your make up which actually are way more trendy lately than the old school medicine cabinet.
CONSIDER THE COST OF LABOR many times people think about saving from material, but they forget that labor cost can account for as much as 50-60% percent of the bathroom remodel budget. Keep you layout the same, so you don’t have to move the plumbing fixtures, and choosing products that do not require a huge amount of installation labor.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
The number of handles required to operate the temperature and flow of the water in your shower and tub may not be on the top of your list of renovation products you have to buy, but all those parts add up. “More valves brings the cost up. A pressure balance valve with a one handle to control both hot and cold water is often cheaper than a thermostatic valve with two handles. Each valve has to be installed separately, and plumbing pipes have to be attached to those valves which increase labor costs to your bathroom remodeling project.
