Evesham Twp Bathroom Remodeling Company: Design + Renovation

Setting the Budget for the Renovation

Setting the budget in the early stages of designing a bathroom renovation is another essential step. This gives us a clear spending limit for all demolition work, construction permits, plumbing fixtures, building materials, and labor costs. Although your budget might be flexible, it is important to have a general spending limit so you do not overspend unnecessarily.

Planning the New Layout

Bathroom renovations are often most successful when homeowners improve the layout. We may suggest removing and relocating walls to expand the bathroom for a roomier layout, or adding privacy features such as a water closet for the toilet or a half wall blocking the toilet from the entryway. You should be able to move around your bathroom freely and conveniently, which we can achieve through strategic layout planning.

Choosing Building Materials and Finishes

Homeowners need to choose the right materials for bathroom renovations that hold up well in high-moisture and high-traffic environments. Anti-slip tile for the flooring, dense, non-porous tile for the shower, moisture-resistant paint, anti-fog mirrors, and warm lighting are all great inclusions during major bathroom remodels.

The more materials and finishes you can decide on in the early stages of the bathroom renovation, the sooner we can order and obtain those materials, helping avoid construction delays due to supply chain issues. Materials can be more expensive and harder to get during construction.

Securing Construction Permits

Securing permits is an essential step during the bathroom remodeling process. Evesham Township requires construction permits for bathroom renovations, and these must be obtained before demolition or construction begins. Permit compliance is essential to any bathroom renovation and a top priority in all of our remodeling projects.

Depending on the scope of a renovation, permits might take up a sizeable portion of your budget. Because permits could cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, we can factor that expense in from the get-go so the cost of permits is not surprising and does not put you over budget.

Performing Demolition Work

It is then time to start demolition work in your current bathroom. Demolition must be done carefully so that no water lines are hit, or other damage is done during the initial stages of your renovation. We can complete demolition as quickly, quietly, and neatly as possible so that it is not overly disruptive for you and your family if you continue living in your home during active construction.

Adding Rough-Ins

After demolition, it is time to add the rough-ins, which often involves running new water lines, moving drain locations, updating electrical wiring for new light switches, exhaust fans, and outlets, and repairing water damage to subfloors, and more.

Applying Waterproofing Measures

Before we close up the walls in your bathroom, we need to apply waterproofing measures in wet zones, such as the shower. There are several different approaches to waterproofing behind shower walls, such as liquid membranes that get painted on and harden, bonded sheet membranes, and lightweight waterproof foam boards.

Waterproofing is an essential part of the bathroom renovation process, and the only way to prevent mold, mildew, and water damage behind bathroom walls.

Adding Finishes

Once the walls are closed and all waterproofing is complete, it is time to lay down the tile on shower floors and walls and on bathroom floors. All shower tile must be sealed properly for optimal waterproofing, another top priority during our bathroom renovations.

All other finishes are typically installed during this time, such as trim, paint, wallpaper, and lighting fixtures, except for plumbing fixtures, which could get damaged if they are installed while other construction is still going on.

Installing Plumbing Fixtures

Plumbing fixtures are typically installed at the very end of bathroom renovations, after all floor tile is installed, so they do not get chipped or damaged during construction. Careful installation is key; otherwise, you could face almost immediate plumbing problems, leaks, and other inconvenient issues in your newly renovated bathroom
