| Remodeling Process |
|
Of course, you’re not the first homeowner to remodel a bathroom. That’s good. That means there’s a proven process for remodeling that you can follow to reduce time and costs. Whether you’re working with a general contractor, hiring subcontractors, or doing all the work yourself, you can put the remodeling process or sequence to work for you. The sequence of remodeling depends on whether you’re doing a bathroom facelift, makeover, or addition. Facelifts don’t require moving any major components, but makeovers often do. Additions require new construction. Here’s the typical remodeling sequence for larger jobs: * Structural changes (foundation, walls, subfloors, doors, windows) * Rough utility changes (wiring, plumbing, HVAC, cable) * Insulation * Ceiling and wall covering * Painting * Electrical fixtures and lighting * Cabinets, shelves, and countertops * Flooring * Plumbing fixtures * Décor Bathroom Remodeling and Bathroom Systems will take you step-by-step through this process on a relatively direct path. If you’re installing a new bathroom where none existed you’ll begin with structural changes. If you are only doing a facelift you may begin with painting and move through electrical fixtures, cabinets, flooring, plumbing fixtures, and décor.
