REMODELING GUIDE
B
athroom remodeling contractors can repair problems, install new fittings and fixtures,
improve access and functionality and revamp a bathroom’s appearance. Bathroom remod-
eling helps homeowners increase the value of their homes while addressing and fixing major
bathroom challenges.
The bathroom remodeling process can be extensive, often involving electrical and plumbing
work, as well as cosmetic changes. Therefore, careful research should occur before selecting a
contractor. It is important to work with a remodeler who will stay on budget and work efficiently to
meet your timeline, especially if there’s only one bathroom in the house.
What are different types of bathroom remodels?
Minor cosmetic
Minor cosmetic upgrades enhance and update the look of a bath without making any major, expensive changes.
Cosmetic improvements include new light fixtures, wall paint, faucets, showerhead and cabinet knobs and pulls.
Major cosmetic
Major cosmetic bath remodeling projects address the same issues as a minor project, but also include new floor-
ing, wall tile and sinks.
Bathroom repairs
This type of bathroom remodeling project addresses problems with the current bathroom, fixing problems such
as leaky sinks, slow-draining bathtubs, running toilets and cracked floor tiles.
Remodel current bathroom
A complete remodeling replaces all existing surfaces, cabinetry, and fittings but typically leaves in place large fix-
tures, such as the toilet and tub.
Ground-up bathroom remodel
When total transformation is required, choose a ground-up approach. The entire bathroom is gutted and rebuilt from
scratch. In some cases, this includes removing walls to enlarge the bathroom.
