In our experience here at Trident General Contracting, one of the most popular targets of home remodeling is the bathroom. There are many reasons why you might want to update your bathroom—perhaps it simply looks dated, or maybe you want to replace your old water fixtures with more water-efficient ones. No matter what you hope to achieve with your bathroom remodel, you can count on us to bring your vision to life. In this article, we will go over a few key points to consider when planning your bathroom remodeling project.
- Storage – When planning a bathroom remodeling project, make sure to include plenty of room for storage. Think about all the things you will need to keep in your bathroom: toiletries, bath linens, styling tools, medicines, etc., and include sufficient space for them. We also recommend including some built-in shelves or niches in your shower in which to store your shampoo, conditioner, and the like.
- Moisture Control – It’s also important to think about moisture control when planning any bathroom remodeling effort. You should choose your materials carefully to minimize the risk of mold growth. In addition, make sure to include a robust ventilation system to remove steam from the air before it can condense on your surfaces.
- Accessibility – Lastly, we strongly encourage you to consider the accessibility of your bathroom when planning your remodel. This is especially important if you plan to stay in your home as you age, as your body will change over time, and your mobility may become limited. Our team can help you design your bathroom in such a way that you will still be able to use it even if you someday need to use a wheelchair full time.
