Top 3 Reasons to Remodel Your Home Bathroom

While it may not be your favorite room in the house, your bathroom is a place you spend lots of time each day, so having one you feel comfortable spending time in is quite important. There are plenty of reasons why remodeling your bathroom is a good idea, such as increased property value when you go to sell your home, improved functionality and convenience and upgraded fixtures.

Let’s face it, if you put your house up for sale, potential buyers are going to want to see everything, including the bathroom. If your bathroom is outdated or unpleasant, they are likely going to keep looking for another home to buy. Remodeling your bathroom could actually increase the selling price of your home, or at the very least make it more attractive to potential buyers.

         ·Hardware – You will want to have new cabinet hardware installed so the area is not only functional but also visually appealing.

         · Paint – A fresh coat of neutral paint such as blue or gray is very cost-effective and can make a big difference to home shoppers.

If mold is a huge problem in your bathroom you will need to call in specialists right away, but for more mild cases you can use bleach and make sure your bathroom ventilation system is working properly. Even a minor mold problem reported on a home inspection can make your buyers think twice.

      Toilets – These days appliances and fixtures are all about energy efficiency. If your toilet is at least 10 years old, you should consider replacing it with a newer model that wastes less water. A toilet with the WaterSense label means it uses 1.28 gallons per flush which is about 20% less than other models and adds up to approximately 13,000 gallons of water savings per year compared to traditional, non-certified toilets.

      Showerheads – Did you know that 17% of your home’s indoor water is used by your shower? Using a WaterSense showerhead can help you reduce your water usage by half a gallon per minute, or nearly 3,000 gallons per year.
