Expensive bathroom remodels areas:

Among all these ranges, here are the areas where most of your budget goes, even for small bathroom remodel designs. Such as:

Moving the fixtures

If you are on a pan to move your toilet or vanity, be ready to pay at least $3500 for every fixture for plumbing first. In fact, relocating the toilet is the most complicated part of bathroom remodeling that boosts the overall charges. Connecting the toilet to the sewer line is a bit tricky for the plumber.

Stock or custom vanities

Of course, your choice can inflate your budget for bathroom remodeling. Usually, you have two options for vanity, like custom-built and stock. We, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, suggest the ready-to-assemble(RTA) vanity instead of a custom one if you have a budgetary limit. For the custom ones, you can expect at least $3000 depending on finishes and hardware choices, while stock vanity comes in $1000 around.

When two friends meet, discussion starts with very general topic and then it leads to a completely different direction. That’s what happened to me too. I met one of my old friends at a restaurant after a long time and she was telling me that she had bought a house in Los Angeles lately. According to her, it was beautiful and cozy by all senses and that’s the reason she and her husband opt for that house. She went on telling… “Everything was fine as per our requirements but the bathroom was bit small and the accessories used inside were outdated. So, we decided for a renovation of that place.”

When it’s about beautifying the house, bathroom renovation is a pretty common task that house owners prefer. So, I didn’t lose the opportunity to have some essential details about the renovation of the bathroom since I was planning to acquire the service very shortly.

Here is a gist of what my friend told me and I feel like sharing this with you because having this elementary knowledge about bathroom remodeling will help the house owners to approach the remodeling contractors more confidently.

I first asked her how she approached a remodeling company and most importantly, how she could even find out one. She replied that from top to bottom it wasn’t about internet and all. She searched the internet initially for native remodeling companies and then she and her husband had to rely on some of the friends and acquaintances here in Los Angeles. Few of the friends had adapted remodeling service previously for the bathroom so they were bit experienced about what are the attributes of the company to look at.

I then asked Samantha (my friend) that how she figured out that one particular company that they wanted to appoint for the remodeling task. Her reply was – we initially kept our focus on two core aspects and those were quality work and budget. She explained that when the house owners are confirmed about the budget they going to pay and the quality of the changes, the task actually becomes easier for the remodeling contractors. You need to convey your requirements accurately to the bathroom renovation contractors and that for the owners need to be determined about the changes.

My next query was about the overall experience of the entire project. She chuckled and said why don’t you come and visit one day. However, we kept on conversing and she told that the company they had an agreement with was very punctual and professional about the needs and requirements of the customers. She added that the company initially given a turnaround time of 2 weeks and they eventually completed the task a day prior to that deadline. All the budgets and changes were discussed earlier and they also received a 3D copy of the project.

So altogether, renovating the bathroom was a good experience for my friend and her family just because the responsibility was handed over to a credible remodeling company. I hope, this excerpt of our discussion will help the house owners who are looking forward to a bathroom renovation shortly.

PS: -Weeks later I visited Samantha’s house for some reason and got the opportunity to take a tour of their newly bought house in LA. The bathroom was really superbly renovated and designed.
