Bathroom Remodeling in Frisco

Frisco Texas is a newer neighborhood in DFW metroplex. Statistic shows after certain amount of time (Between 7-10 years) every home owner needs a kind of bathroom makeover. Whether it is the painting, new lighting fixtures granite countertops, or simply new tiles in the bathroom, they all considered as a part of a bathroom remodeling project.

It is important to know that in most bathroom remodeling projects, you should expect to recoup your money between (85%-100%) if it is done right. In this blog I'm going to walk you through how to plan your bathroom renovation successfully if you are living in Frisco, TX.

Rule #1: Never overdo your bathroom. what this means is you need to keep the same flow through out your house. So for example if your house mostly furnished with ceramic tile and you intend to keep it that way then when remodeling your bathroom try to stay with ceramic tile rather than going with natural stone or a different product.

Rule #2: Try to avoid changing the layout of your bathroom. Home owners in Frisco are mostly younger professionals and majority of the bathroom remodeling projects have a structured budget that can not be exceeded so it is very important to know what to avoid to complete your bathroom remodeling project within your means & budget.  As I mentioned earlier moving walls and changing the bathroom layout could be very costly especially if you need to have an architectural plan drawn for the changes. From moving the plumbing pipes to concrete work and passing required inspections
it could eat up your designated budget very quickly.

Rule #3: Try to go with the trend and available materials in the market. This is helpful especially if you desire to sell your house in the near future. There will be more potential buyers when you have remodeled your bathrooms according to the market taste. So it is important to know the updated market trend before you start the project. A knowledgeable and experienced bathroom remodeler  should have a pretty good idea in suggesting you the materials that are both available and in style. As you noticed I mentioned availability as a factor and that is because this would expedite the remodeling process. The worse thing that could happen is you demolish your bathroom and you select a material that is back ordered for 3 weeks! This could cause tension and delay in completing the renovation. So make sure everything is selected and ready to go.

Rule #4: Try to make your shower few inches bigger if you have room to expand it. Bigger showers are definitely a plus when remodeling the shower area.

Rule#5: If your bathroom vanity cabinet is in good shape, you may just update it with applying new paint, replacing old doors with new ones and adding nice set of hardware. This way you can save money and add value at the same time.

Rule#6: When selecting plumbing fixtures, if you are changing countertops to a solid surface like marble or granite top for your bathroom vanities, try to choose the ones that have separate handles (Known as 8" Spread). The fixtures that faucet and handles are all attached (Known as 4" spread) are not very popular any more and they are a cheaper choice that track home builders are using to profit more when building houses. Keep in mind that once you make holes on your granite top you can not change the location of your fixture so it is recommended to select the kind that most remodelers use when  changing their countetops.

Rule #7: Try to buy all your plumbing fixtures from the same brand. Different manufacturers have different color tone on the same finish out. For example if you like brushed nickel finish for your bathroom, a brushed nickel vanity faucet from Delta manufacturer may have a different color tone than a brushed nickel shower head & faucet from Moen manufacturer. This will help you to keep everything consistent.

Rule #8:Some upgrades are becoming more and more common in todays bathroom remodeling projects like granite coutertops. If you decide to renovate your bathroom it is recommended to replace your countertops with a hard surface like Granite, Marble, Quartz or even Silestone. They add more value to your house, easier to clean and bring beauty to your space not to mention they require less maintenance.

Rule #9: When remodeling your shower use bigger tiles on the walls and smaller tiles on the floor. Bigger tiles make your shower area look bigger. Also use at least one boarder to spice up the look of your shower. There are many deco tiles that are available for the boarder in the shower. Now a days glass tiles are among the popular choices. also ask your bathroom remodeler to accommodate a shapoo niche for your bottles. This technique is popular to make your shower experience more practical.

Rule #10: When remodeling your shower area be prepared to get a new enclosure for your shower. Whether you like the enclosure to be frameless or framed once your shower is demolished it is recommended to install a new enclosure specially if you already have a framed enclosure.
Many people started to go with a frameless enclosure as the price has dropped since they first came out. They are indeed more elegant and add beauty to your bathroom.
