Everywhere consumers look, it seems like there's a new home renovation show appearing on television. And, if it seems like more homeowners are sprucing up their homes these days, it's because they are. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by Houzz, 58% of homeowners attacked renovation projects in some manner during the previous year, spending an average of $15,000. This may or may not have been their budgeted amount, however, as 46% of those who set budgets exceeded them.Still at the top of the list of renovation projects, bathroom modifications are enacted by many. New bathtubs, vanities and painting jobs are just a few of the ways homeowners can update or totally change the way the bathroom looks. The Tub Connection, an online retailer, definitely sees the influx of customers shopping for new accessories. In fact, every year, they service thousands of customers ordering Clawfoot Bathtubs, pedestal tubs, bathroom vanities and more to change out the look of the bathroom.
Experts state there are many benefits to renovating a home's bathrooms, including increasing its value and preparing a home to sell. Real Estate professionals say an updated bathroom can be a major selling point, and vice versa, an outdated room with pink tile and a shower/tub combo can turn off potential buyers. They advise replacing the combination shower tub with Clawfoot Tubs, spa-like showers or expansive soaking tubs. These small steps can mean renovations the new owner doesn't have to make.
HGTV, the ultimate go-to for diyers, reports even a minor remodel can provide over a 100% return when it comes time to resell. A minor remodel typically consists of replacing the tub, tile, floor toilet, sink, vanity and fixtures. It also can mean a new coat of paint. It is suggested that color choices be conservative if resell is the goal, as a trendy color today could be out of style in the future.
Other benefits of bathroom renovations include saving money on water bills due to leaky faucets or leaky bathtubs. Taking care of leaky faucets or plumbing joints could save up to twenty gallons a day for each one fixed. Plumbing experts state the single largest water wasting culprit in the home is a leaking toilet at one gallon every six minutes.
Not every reason for remodeling is based on hard facts, though. Creating an oasis can do wonders to help those with anxiety issues. For some homeowners, it's the clutter they wish to erase, and re-doing a poorly designed bathroom can help. Renovating allows individuals to increase their storage in some of the amazingly roomy vanities and cabinets. This allows discreet hiding of towels, cleaners and medicine.
DIYers need not hold off until they're ready to sell. After all, why invest in all the spa-like amenities only to sell the home for someone else to enjoy. With free shipping from many retailers, it's no surprise those renovating can shop online and slowly replace the outdated pieces with new, modern pieces. It's the details that make a look, so it's positive news that consumers can purchase not just tubs and sinks, but faucets, vanities, hardware and light switch plates and complete the look they want to replicate from the Internet or magazines.
