Bathroom renovations often yield unforeseen complications that
may need the expertise of a qualified professional. Whether you
handle all, just part, or none of the aspects yourself, this short
informational contains valuable tips to help insure project success.
Important Considerations When Making Bathroom Renovations
Because of the complexities of many bathroom renovation projects,
Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary and other homeowners accross Canada
often seek the services of a reliable renovation contractor for
the job.
A Word About Permits, Local Building Codes, and Inspections
Bathroom renovations often require plumbing, electrical, HVAC,
and new structural aspects within the project. Except for projects
that are solely along the lines of cosmetic remodeling, each of
these will normally require a building permit. Many times, a formal
inspection will also be required.
A professional bathroom renovation contractor will be familiar
with which permits will be required as well as code requirements
in your area. If you plan on doing some of these-type renovation
projects yourself, check with your local code-enforcement office
to see what is required.
One thing you never want to do is get a permit in your name, and
hire an unlicensed person to do the work. Doing so could mean significant
trouble for you. Unless you do the work yourself, only licensed
contractors should be hired to do your bathroom renovation project.
5 Prudent Bathroom Renovation Tips:
1.) If you are a do-it-yourselfer and tearing apart your old bathroom
is part of your renovation project, thoughtfully consider hiring
a renovation contractor for the job, instead. Even one oversight
could prove a costly mistake.
2.) Before beginning new bathroom installations such as cabinets
and counters, check the walls to be sure they are plumb. If they
are not, deal with the walls to make them plumb before making new
installations. Otherwise, visible gaps will result.
3.) If you plan on staining your trim material, finger-joint trim
is not a good option; joints will show through the stain and mar
the overall effect. Likewise, nails should be countersunk using
a nail punch and holes covered with putty.
4.) Flexible air ducts can sometimes be used to carry heat or cool
air from the main trunk to the bathroom’s outlet register
– making installation easier and much less hazardous a task.
5.) When purchasing primer to coat the new walls and ceilings,
ask the paint dealer to tint the primer to match the color of paint
you plan on using over it. The effect will be richer color and the
need for a second coat of paint is often eliminated.
A bathroom is one of the most important rooms of any house. When
all is said and done, quality of work, increased function, and desired
effect should be top priorities when it comes to making bathroom
renovations.
Acquiring the services of a reliable, professional contractor will
help guarantee project success and protect your financial investment.
