Bathroom

Plan a Bathroom Refresh Before a Full Renovation

Decide what can stay before replacing the vanity or changing the lighting.

Check the condition first

Ask your contractor to assess the existing room before deciding that the work is cosmetic. Issues behind finishes can change the scope. A new vanity should be planned around a sound installation, not used to hide a problem.

Choose the change that matters to you

If storage is the frustration, start with the vanity layout. If the room feels dim, discuss the lighting with an electrician. Name the problem before choosing products. That gives you a way to judge whether a proposed purchase is useful.

Account for the work around the product

Removing an old cabinet may reveal unfinished flooring or wall damage. Replacing a lit mirror may involve electrical work. Ask for those tasks to be included in the installation quote. Then compare the product and installation costs together before approving the project.

Before you request a quote

  • Have the existing installation assessed.
  • Name the problem you want to solve.
  • Include removal and making-good work in the quote.
