Bathroom Remodel Scottsdale

Scottsdale homeowners may find that when they first start scrolling through bathroom ideas to get some inspiration, it's very easy to get distracted by perfectly airbrushed photos of gigantic bathrooms crammed full of all the latest bathroom design trends. But it's important to keep in mind that trends are, by nature, fleeting and your bathroom will outlast them. That means that before long, you'll find yourself needing even more custom bathroom remodeling. Scottsdale Homeowners also need to consider that what's currently popular may not ultimately be able to meet the needs and wants of your family, or you may end up with a severely outdated bathroom within a few years of completing your bathroom remodel.

Scottsdale families and households naturally change over time, so it's a good idea to carefully consider how you might need to use your bathroom a few years down the road when you're planning a bathroom remodel. Scottsdale homeowners should think about including features or fixtures that may not be all that important at this point in time but will be welcome amenities in the future. For example, if you are approaching your golden years or thinking of welcoming a family member with mobility challenges into your home, you may want to include accessibility features that will make it easier to navigate the room independently. Or, if you're planning on expanding your family with a new baby, don't get rid of your bathtub in favor of a shower—bathing a toddler in a shower can fall somewhere between difficult and impossible, which is why most young families want access to a tub.

Scottsdale homeowners who envision a clean, modern, minimalist look for their Scottsdale bathroom remodeling project may be considering the possibility of getting rid of clunky, old-fashioned cabinetry altogether. The problem is that you'll regret that decision when every available surface is cluttered with grooming tools, bottles and more because you have no place to store all the items you need easily accessible.

From towels and toilet paper to shampoo and cosmetics, there's quite a bit of stuff that needs to be kept within arm's reach in your bathroom so you and the other members of your household can take care of your daily grooming routines conveniently. It may not be possible to add even more storage space if you're working with a small room, but at the very least, you should avoid reducing or eliminating storage space during a bathroom remodel.

Scottsdale residents will find that cabinets are a must-have for bathroom storage, but storage solutions don’t have to stop with cabinetry during bathroom remodeling. Scottsdale homeowners, rather than eliminating cabinets, should consider including other options as well, such as tiled cubbies in the shower, over-the-toilet shelving, hooks on the back of the door, or adding a narrow roll-out drawer for small items like cosmetics or jewelry. Adding a few additional storage places can actually go a long way towards making the room feel less cluttered because everything is tucked away out of sight—but still easily available whenever you need it.

Scottsdale residents often ask our team if they’ll need permits for their upcoming remodeling project, and that really depends on the nature of the work you need done for your particular Scottsdale bathroom remodeling project. According to the home improvement rules and regulations put in place by the City of Scottsdale, you do not need a permit for surface-level alterations such as tile installation, installing cabinets, countertops and other types of mill work, or drywall installation. However, a permit is necessary for tasks like replacing plumbing fixtures or altering an existing electrical circuit during your bathroom remodel. Scottsdale professionals in our handyman team have worked in this area for many years, and have lots of experience with remodeling, so we know exactly which projects require which permits, and we'll ensure that we've got the required permits in hand before we begin work, so you don't have to worry about the process of permit application for your bathroom remodel.

Scottsdale residents who choose our remodeling team also don't have to worry about whether the results of our work will be compliant with applicable building codes. We always ensure that our work meets or exceeds municipal and state regulations, not only because we value a safe workplace but also because we are committed to delivering results that are safe, fully compliant, long-lasting and done right.

When you're preparing a house to go up for sale on the real estate market and looking for ways to improve property value, Scottsdale bathroom remodeling should be right at the top of your priority list. Prospective home buyers and real estate professionals consider a bathroom in poor condition to be a major red flag, so seeing a brand-new, freshly remodeled bathroom will be a big selling point that can also add to your selling price to get you a solid return on investment. However, it's important to remember that it's not just about increasing property value. By doing a bathroom remodel, Scottsdale homeowners will be able to better impress potential buyers, so they move your property to the top of their lists and decide to make an offer. That means you can avoid a long, drawn-out sale period that leaves your property stagnating on the market for months.

That being said, if the resale value is one of the top reasons for doing bathroom remodeling, Scottsdale homeowners should stick to a more neutral color palette and choose classic materials and finishes to ensure their new bathroom is more appealing to everyone, as too much customization can appeal to fewer people following a bathroom remodel. Scottsdale residents should speak to a member of our design team to see what choices they can make for a more appealing bathroom makeover.

Scottsdale residents, once the project has been scheduled and it’s almost time to start the remodel, should take a few basic preparation steps to help the bathroom remodeling process go smoothly overall.

Here are a few tips on preparing your home for bathroom remodeling Scottsdale residents should take note of:

• Take everything out of the room, including stuff in drawers and cabinets, wall hangings, textiles, shower curtains and anything else that can be removed.
• Ensure there's a clear path from the nearest exterior door to the room being worked, so there’s plenty of room to carry large or awkward items like building materials.
• Put down drop cloths to protect carpeting or delicate flooring materials like your porcelain tile or ceramic tile from dirt and scratches.
• Make a comfortable space for pets where they can be contained safely, as far away from the bathroom being remodeled as possible so they aren’t bothered by construction noises.
• Ensure everyone in your home knows when the remodeling crew will be arriving, what their schedule will be like, and when to expect things like water to be shut off to allow for work.
