It’s important to take the proper steps when planning a commercial bathroom remodel. A professional contractor can help you with everything from budgeting for your project to installing new fixtures. Read on for our top tips for planning your next bathroom makeover so you can get started as soon as possible!
Choose your bathroom remodel budget
Estimate the cost of your bathroom remodel. This step is important to ensure that you stay within your budget and don’t overspend on materials or labor.
- Estimate the cost of hiring a professional contractor. You may be able to save money by doing some or all of the work yourself, but if not, consider hiring a contractor who has experience in bathroom renovations and can provide you with recommendations for local contractors who specialize in this type of project.
- Determine what materials, fixtures and hardware you want included in your new bathroom design before pricing out each item individually. For example: if an undermount sink costs $100 but includes everything needed for installation (including faucet), then add up all these additional expenses when determining how much it will ultimately cost per square foot for materials alone (without labor).
- Calculate how much time will be required from start-to-finish including permits inspection fees etc., as well as any additional costs associated with those services such as permits inspection fees etc..
Know when to hire a professional
Most DIYers have the right intentions and are willing to put in the hard work. But if you’re not sure what you’re doing, or if you don’t have experience with certain types of projects, it’s best to leave it up to a professional.
You should also consider hiring a professional if:
- You have no experience with remodeling projects at all (or very little).
- The project involves electrical work, plumbing or other complicated tasks.
- Someone else has already tried and failed at this same task multiple times before without success–and now they want help from someone else who knows how to do things properly!
Prepare your space for the remodel
- Remove all items from the bathroom
- Clean and dry the space
- Make sure it is dry
Remove old fixtures and doors
The next step is to remove the old fixtures and doors. If you’re remodeling a bathroom, there will be a lot of these things! Take them to a recycling center or drop-off point so they can be reused. Don’t throw them in your trash bin–you’ll end up paying extra fees at the landfill because of their weight and size. And don’t use them elsewhere in your house either–they may contain harmful chemicals that could cause health problems over time.
Prepare flooring and tile
In this step, you’ll want to prepare the flooring and tile. If you’re installing new flooring and/or tile, you can begin by removing any old materials. This is usually done with a pry bar or other hand tool that helps loosen the flooring without damaging it.
If installing new tiles, make sure they are cut correctly and installed in their correct positions so they fit together properly when drywall is added over them later on in this process.
Install new fixtures, faucets and hardware
- Install new fixtures: This can include sinks, toilets and tubs.
- Install new faucets: If there are no existing faucets in the bathroom, this step will be omitted from your project list. However, if you’re replacing an old fixture with a new one (for example replacing an old sink with a new vanity), then it’s important that you install any necessary plumbing before installing anything else on top of them such as mirrors or medicine cabinets that require holes drilled through their frames for installation purposes!
- Install new hardware: This includes towel racks/rails along walls or ceilings; mirrors above sinks/vanities; exhaust fans near showers/bathtubs; toilet seats…the possibilities are endless here!
- Install a new hand dryer: A new hand dryer is a great way to improve the look of your bathroom. If your old dryer is broken or just doesn’t work well anymore, you’ll need to remove it first before installing a new one. You can usually remove an old hand dryer by unscrewing the screws on either side of the unit and then pulling it out of its mounting bracket. The new hand dryer should come with installation instructions that should tell you how to attach it to the wall or ceiling. If not, consult with an electrician if you’re unsure about how to install it properly.
A commercial bathroom remodel should be done by professionals
