Before & After: A Brentwood Bathroom Remodel That Stole the Show

Common Bathroom Challenges That Call for a Remodel

1. Molds

As confirmed by the Tennessee Department of Health, molds produce allergens, irritants, and, in some cases, mycotoxins. A person's health reaction to mold depends on the amount of exposure, frequency of exposure, and sensitivity or allergy to mold. Mold exposure can cause a variety of health symptoms. Suppose a person with mold allergies comes into contact with mold. In that case, they may experience symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, watery eyes, a skin rash, and itching. Many people will not react to mold. Some people, such as asthmatics or people with compromised immune systems, can have more severe adverse reactions.

Mold is a moisture problem. Mold grows on damp surfaces. Since our bathroom is the most exposed to moisture in our home, mold is one of the typical bathroom problems experienced by homeowners. Once you have found the humidity, you must take steps to prevent it from entering your home. Without stopping the moisture, the mold will continue to return even after it has been cleaned up. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking prompt action if you already have a mold problem at home. Molds can gradually destroy the materials on which they grow. You can prevent damage to your home and furnishings, save money, and avoid potential health problems by controlling moisture and eliminating mold growth immediately.

2. Outdated Layout

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires sufficient clear floor space around fixtures, such as toilets, sinks, and showers/tubs, to allow for maneuvering and transfers, particularly for accessibility. An outdated layout can be non-compliant with the guidelines and provisions set by the HUD. As required by the Fair Housing Act, a bathroom layout should not only be aesthetically updated but also incorporate features that make bathrooms accessible and adaptable for people with disabilities. Removing outdated elements in your design, such as bulky fixtures and striking tile combinations, can freshen up your bathroom to a new level of practicality, low maintenance, and comfort-driven aesthetics.

3. Small Space

A small bathroom space feels cramped and uninviting. Limited floor space for fixtures and movement in your bathroom can also limit its functionality for homeowners. It restricts storage options and installation of standard-sized fixtures. Precise measurement for fixture placement and strategic storage solutions is key to successful small bathroom design. With tailored design solutions for your small bathroom through a remodel, homeowners can overcome these limitations with unique creativity and strategic planning.

1. Design

Planning your bathroom space is an exciting yet heavy task. When designing your bathroom, it's essential to strike a balance between style and functionality. Look for bathroom trends that match the style that you want. You can get inspiration from many sources, ranging from magazines and online platforms to real-life spaces. Your taste should guide your choice of bathroom style. You can add luxurious features with touches of your personality to match your style. Select colors and materials that complement each other and match the rest of your home, ensuring a seamless flow within your living space. You can also elevate the comfort your bathroom brings by creating a spa-like environment. Having the right design and materials will allow you to bring out the beauty of your bathroom space. Consider hiring professionals, such as contractors, plumbers, electricians, or interior designers, who specialize in bathroom remodels to simplify the process through their expertise. You can save both stress and space by hiring expert remodelers for your bathroom.

2. Demolition

Significant layout change starts with demolition. To achieve the dreamy bathroom you want, you need to remove what you have in your current bathroom space. Determine what needs to be removed from your bathroom to achieve the desired look for your bathroom space. Tearing down your existing bathroom elements through interior demolition may be necessary to start on a clean slate for your bathroom remodel journey. You can begin to remove fixtures such as the toilet, sink, and bathtub to replace them with new ones for a clean and sleek look. Removing the flooring can be a big task, depending on the type of flooring. It involves specialized tools for demolition and can generate a large amount of debris for disposal. It is best to hire professional help for demolition to prioritize safety, especially if it involves plumbing and electrical work. Its hazards can be controlled by proper planning and expert execution by trained professionals. The expertise of a professional demolition team is crucial in mitigating the risks and dangers associated with demolition activities. Picking the right contractor is key to a successful demolition.

3. Installation

Small details, such as fixtures, lighting, and accessories, can significantly enhance the overall value of your bathroom design. Whether you install a walk-in shower or a sleek bathtub, remember that it’s essential to find one that fits your budget and meets your needs. Conduct research before purchasing the materials you intend to install. Make sure to install not just aesthetically pleasing fixtures, but it is also essential to consider their durability and efficiency. Of course, we do not want to replace what we have installed in our bathroom frequently. Professionals can recommend the best options for your installations to ensure they are worth every dollar you spend.
