The Answers to Common Bathroom Remodeling Questions

When you consider having bathroom renovation or remodeling work done, you might think you will need to use the toilet at the local gas station for a day or so. Maybe you plan to check into a hotel for a few days. That works if you only install a new toilet or paint the room, but as this video explains, a full bathroom renovation takes between four and eight weeks.

A full bathroom remodel or renovation requires the removal of all fixtures and flooring. Bathroom remodeling companies then replace the removed fixtures with new fixtures that perform better than the original. For example, a homeowner might remove their older toilet and replace it with an energy-efficient, low-flow toilet to use less water.

If a home only has one bathroom, renovating it can require a temporary place to stay. Consider timing your vacation with your bathroom remodeling or time it with a neighbor's vacation and volunteer to house-sit for them. Giving up a bathroom for up to eight weeks may seem extreme, but consider the added value to your home when the contractors complete the remodeling job.

Adding a second bathroom can tack more than $10,000 onto the home's value. Remodeling an existing bathroom adds value, too, although not as much. Plan your home renovation carefully and consider where you will stay while you lack a usable toilet.
