Whether you choose us or not … AZ New Bath is here to guide you through before the remodeling process begins.
We compiled a list of questions to ask yourself before giving us a call to schedule your free consultation. With our expertise and your vision, we can ensure a successful and stunning transformation together!
What is My Remodeling Budget?
This can be quite an overwhelming question, which is why we offer a free consultation. Setting a realistic budget is the first step toward a successful remodel. Ask yourself how much you are willing to spend on remodeling your bathroom. Remember, the overall cost of a remodel can vary depending on the size of the space, the extent of the renovation, and the materials and finishes you choose.
If you aren’t sure where to begin with determining your budget, start with prioritizing what matters most to you. Maybe you want to improve the functionality of your space, create a more aesthetic bathroom, or convert your tub to a shower. When you identify what your top priorities are, this will be the first step in creating a realistic budget.
What Are My Remodeling Needs and Wants?
When considering a bathroom remodel, you can split your needs into 2 categories: practical needs and aesthetic wants, or a balance of both. A beautiful bathroom is important. A study done by Bio Bidet reports that 44% of Americans spend about an hour every day in the bathroom. You also need to consider the functionality of your bathroom and how it can work with your daily routine. Think about what features are the most important to you and your family.
What is the Scope of the Remodel?
Are you looking for a minor update or a full bathroom remodel? When you know the scope of your remodel this will help you better understand the timeline, help craft a budget, and make the impact you want on your home. Note that a full remodel will take longer and cost more if you are going to do a porcelain installation.
When you understand your scope you will understand the timeline and this will help manage expectations regarding your project's schedule.
Who Will Use the Bathroom?
Think of who will primarily be using the bathroom you are looking to remodel. Is it just you, you and a partner, children, elderly family members, or guests? This will influence the design and functionality of the space. Adding accessibility and safety features is important especially if your bathroom is going to be used by elderly or disabled individuals. If you need design ideas for any situation feel free to give us a call and we can help you to decide what’s best.
What Storage Solutions Do I Need?
Look into your current storage situation and see what works and what doesn't. Are there enough shelves for your items? Do you have space for towels and cleaning supplies? Is your countertop cluttered with products that don’t have a proper storage space? Identifying what works and what doesn't in your current setup will help you determine your storage needs moving forward. At AZ New Bath we know the different storage solutions like built-in cabinets, floating sleeves, and vanity drawers all to maximize the functionality of your space.
Do You Have Safety Concerns About Your Bathroom Remodel?
Think about installing safety features like non-slip flooring, grab bars, or a walk-in shower to prevent accidents and ensure the bathroom is safe for all users. Non-slip flooring is designed to provide extra traction which reduces the risk of slips and falls. Materials such as textured tiles, vinyl, or specially treated wood can offer the necessary grip without compromising on style.
Grab bars are another important addition to consider especially around the shower, bathtub, and toilet. These bars provide sturdy support for individuals who need assistance with balance or mobility, making it easier and safer to move around the bathroom. Here at AZ New Bath, we understand the importance of bathroom safety and are committed to helping you design a space that meets all your safety needs without sacrificing style.
What Are Your One-Year and Five-Year Remodeling Plans?
When considering a remodel be sure to understand your long-term plans for the bathroom. You may be planning on selling your home soon. If that is the case, focus on updates that increase home value. Or you have no plans of selling, prioritizing comfort and personalization that case makes the most sense. Knowing your future plans will help guide your remodeling decisions. Looking into the future can save you from having to do another remodel sooner than necessary.
