On-Top Construction
1. It is a good investment in the value of a home: The size and adequacy of the bathrooms
is often a major consideration in the decision to purchase a home. Outdated or inadequate
bathrooms can have a significant effect on the perceived value of a home. In terms of return on
your investment in the bathroom remodel when you sell your home, you can expect, in most
regions, to recover the majority of your investment.
2. The bathroom needs repair: All bathrooms show signs of damage, wear and tear, and
aging of materials and fixtures over time. The need to make repairs is often a good reason to
completely remodel a bathroom. While the repairs are the main focus of the remodel, other
features can also be updated.
3. The color of bathroom fixtures is not to your liking: Fads in decorating colors come and
go. Decorating trends change every three to five years. Some of the colors used for bathroom
fixtures and design in the past strike us as “ugly” or “date” the bathroom to some period in the
past. Whether you dislike the color scheme of your bathroom or you just want a change, a
bathroom remodel might provide the fresh appearance you want.
4. The fixtures need to be updated or upgraded: Styles in fixtures and surrounds change
over time. Builders often use less costly fixtures at the time of construction. Someone who
owned the home before you might have redecorated the bathroom in a style that doesn’t appeal
to you. These are popular reasons to remodel and modernize a bathroom.
5. More space is needed in the bathroom: Big bathrooms are a definite trend in new home
construction today. You might want to enlarge your bathroom to make it more appealing to
potential buyers. You might just feel a need for more space. Whether the master bath is too
small for two people or the second bathroom is too small for the three teenagers who share it,
enlarging a bathroom is a very common reason for remodeling.
6. The bathroom needs to be safer: Thousands of accidents and injuries happen in
bathrooms every year. Whether you are thinking of your children, yourself, your parents, or your
future needs, a safety upgrade is often the reason for bathroom remodeling.
If you are evaluating any of these needs or situations, remodeling your bathroom might be the
