4 Money-Saving Tactics in Bathroom Remodeling

The bathroom might be the most important room in the home, but that doesn’t mean bathroom remodeling has to cost an arm and a leg to remodel. You can use a few tactics to make sure you remain within budget; you might even save more than you thought was possible.

Here are a few pointers from NorthWest Construction.

1. Plan for the Future

When you plan the remodeling project, think of its future use. With forward thinking, consider everything that you might need for additional utility. For the exterior, you can think of siding and roofing. For the bathroom, this could entail taller cabinets, larger entryways and shower towel bars that double as handlebars. With these ideas, you can build a long-lasting and relaxing experience.

2. Update the Plumbing 

If you have a working bathroom, toilet or sink you don’t have to replace them. Installing new pipes or plumbing means more time and money spent on adding them. Instead, change parts of the plumbing to make it easier. You can get a new shower head, toilet seat or mirror frame, all of which would cost less than installing any of those things individually. NorthWest Construction has teams of expert bathroom remodelers who can point you in the right direction as far as maximizing your bathroom remodeling budget.

3. Salvaging Saves

Go to the local salvage barn or search online for leftover bathroom items. You can save more money by purchasing cheaper things like curtains, tiles, or even tubs and sinks. Once you buy them, you can have them recast and painted over to fit the scheme of your bathroom.

4.  Light It Up

Ironically, most people would change the lighting scheme to budget units since even the lavish ones rarely hold appeal. You’re better off buying cheaper, readily available lighting from different stores without breaking bank. If your bathroom can access the roof, you could even try for a budget skylight.
