You cannot complete a bathroom renovation project without first determining your budget. The bathroom renovation project budget is specific to each individual person or family, and it will be up to you to conduct your research to find the best value for your money in services and materials.
If completing your project is going to cost your time and money from your own employment, it may be best to hire a contractor anyway and save yourself the added expense.
Don’t forget that with any bathroom renovations you must research and obtain the required permits and any subcontractors and inspectors—these must be included in your budget. Be aware that in some states it is required for some parts of the home renovation project to be performed or inspected by a certified contractor and you be granted a permit to complete. Cutting and placing tiles, for example, may require the expertise of a specialist to ensure the quality of the finished product.
What can you do Yourself?
You won’t need a contractor for every aspect of your bathroom renovation project. Cleaning up the debris at the end of every workday is something that homeowners can do themselves. You should discuss the clean-up aspects of your particular bathroom renovation project with your contractor and decide on the most cost-effective and safe disposal arrangements.
New light fixtures are often part of a bathroom renovation and changing them may not require a license. A professional electrician might be required if any rewiring is required. Your contractor can help you determine which parts of your bathroom renovation project you can complete on your own to save money.
Many homeowners relegate their responsibilities to issuing the checks to the contractor while they take care of the entire project. The right bathroom renovation contractor will help you keep track of the entire project, including maintaining a timeline for work completion and completing the project within a budget.
