Kirkland Bathroom Remodeling
Many homeowners don’t think of their bathrooms as part of the living space, but you spend more time in your bathroom than almost any other room in your house. A new or remodeled bathroom can increase your home’s value. Improving the appearance and amenities can make even an old bathroom into a comfortable in-home spa for you and your family.
Other considerations for a bathroom remodel include:
- Improving your home’s energy efficiency. Innovative technology isn’t just about luxury. Controlling water temperature and flow can help decrease your water and heating bills, saving you money while also benefiting the environment.
- Increased space and storage. You’ve probably bumped into other family members more than once in a too-small bathroom or run out of space for towels and toiletries. Our design team can help you by increasing your countertops and opening up floor space with innovative designs.
- A new style of shower or bathtub can significantly alter the entire feel of the bathroom, changing the flow of your room and house. You may not need a new bathroom, but an open-floor shower or freestanding tub can give you a new, relaxing space to use in your bathroom.
If you’re not quite sure what you want or need in a new bathroom, our Kirkland home design specialists can offer some helpful hints and tips for your remodel. Home Care Contractors has been giving our customers tips on the latest trends in this vibrant community for over a decade, and we’ll be happy to help you design the perfect bathroom.
Step-by-Step Bathroom Remodel Process
Many homeowners begin remodeling and renovation projects with enthusiasm, only to quickly realize they’re in over their heads. Even a quick renovation can uncover issues with your home that need significant repairs. Sometimes, quick fixes create more problems than they solve.
When you hire Home Care Contractors, we begin with a free consultation and review of your bathroom and existing fixtures. Our project manager will review your plans to determine what can be accommodated within the space and plumbing. We’ll also discuss the budget, materials, and proposed timeline for completion.
Demolition and Preparation
All kitchen and bathroom remodels begin with extensive demolition. Depending on what you want in your new bathroom, we will remove the existing fixtures, cabinets, and even the drywall. We take the utmost care when removing everything to ensure that the process does not damage your home.
Once all the old material has been removed, our team prepares the space for the new fixtures. If the plumbing needs to be rerouted, we may need to shut off the water, but we do so with minimal inconvenience to your household.
Installation
After preparing the bathroom, we put in your new fixtures and the materials you selected. We plan this part of the project carefully to ensure it proceeds as smoothly as possible. During this period, we install any new plumbing, the tub and shower, then place cabinets, tile, and flooring.
Some types of remodels require city or county inspections. For instance, plumbing work may need to be signed off by the county if it involves connecting to the sewer line. Our team ensures that we have all necessary permits and arranges inspections to minimize any disruptions to our schedule.
Finish Work and Final Walkthrough
The final part of the job involves installing the counters, new hardware such as knobs and faucets, and painting the woodwork. Your new bathroom may need a final approval from the city housing inspector. Our project manager will be on-site if any inspection is necessary.
We won’t leave until you do a last walkthrough yourself and give us your approval. This is your bathroom and will be part of your life once we leave. We want everything to be just as you want it before we pack up and go for the last time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should we maintain our remodeled bathroom?
Our team will leave you with some tips about how to keep your new bathroom in top condition. If there are any special requirements for upkeep, such as an in-home spa or open shower, we’ll ensure you have them before we leave. We’ll also let you know if we spot any signs of mold or mildew in your bathroom so you can address that when we leave.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
There is no set timeline for a bathroom remodel. The more complicated the plan, the longer it will take to implement. Construction projects have a habit of lasting longer than homeowners and contractors would like. Home Care Contractors does its best to give you a reasonable timeline. We also let you know whenever there is a change in plans and explain why it will take longer to finish.
Is there a difference between a remodel and a renovation?
In general, a “renovation” refers to making minor improvements and sprucing up a space. Some renovations can involve changing cabinet doors or repainting the walls. A “remodel” consists of demolishing the entire room, often to the bare walls, and replacing nearly everything inside.
A remodel can be pretty small, and a renovation could be quite extensive–compare the difference between replacing a shower and repainting the entire room. A remodel typically involves the removal of existing fixtures and their replacement.
Is a bathroom remodel expensive?
A bathroom remodel doesn’t have to be expensive. Our designers will work with you to find a design and materials that give you the look you want at a price you can afford. There are many options for fixtures and materials that provide a high-quality appearance at reasonable prices.
