If you are remodeling your home with a view to selling the property, you will find a bathroom remodel one of the most sensible, high ROI investments. Buyers are usually willing to pay more for a Phoenix, Arizona area home with luxurious, fully out fitted bathrooms. A bathroom remodel can be as simple as changing the tiles, sink or tub or as extensive as adding a whole new bathroom. It's easy to get carried away while in the midst of a bathroom renovation, purely because of the sheer variety of fittings, fixtures and accessories out there. For instance, if you are only looking at a small bath tub remodeling project, you could easily find your budget sky rocketing as you fill your tiny space with the latest water massage system-incorporated tub. Always have a bath remodel plan before you hire a contractor.
A brisk invigorating shower is the only way to start the day. Installing the right kind of shower for your size of bathroom can mean greater functionality and convenience. If you are restricted by the size of your bathroom, you may find that a detachable shower or a tub-shower combo if you have the space for a tub, is the right choice for you. Showers themselves are not restricted to a single size or angle, or even a single unit at all. Newer dual shower head systems allow you to direct your shower at any part of the body through the presence of two separate shower heads that are connected to a single water line. So, if your back is killing you after a long day at work, angle the shower head directly to your back, and relax!
Installing a new bath tub as part of your bath remodeling can give you great value for money. Home buyers will look for at least one bathroom with the tub included, and if you can have an expensive tub like a luxury whirlpool tub or an antique tub, you will find that it enhances the interest in your home. Bath tubs are available in a variety of materials these days. Light weight materials like acrylic or enamel steel are not just more affordable, but also easy to install. However, if you insist on a cast iron tub as part of your bath tub remodeling, remember that your bath floors may have to be strengthened or buttressed before any installation can take place. If your budget allows, consider a whirlpool hydro massage system that takes the tub to a whole new level. In these hectic times, people look for luxury features in bathrooms that allow them to enjoy a spa like atmosphere right in their home without the need to visit a professional spa. This makes a whirlpool tub a high ROI bath feature.
Moving to KC (looking to buy a home in Parkville). The house we are considering is new construction with about 1200 sq ft of unfinished basement. What is the ball park square footage price to finish with framing a bedroom, installing a bath and the rest as media room with bar? I realize this is general, but I want a general idea of costs. Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you.
