Neal's Home Remodeling and Design Blog

Bathroom remodeling requires special attention to detail. To plan a successful bathroom remodeling project, we recommend three initial steps:

In many homes, bathroom space is limited. The bathroom is often the smallest room and most used. A standard bathroom in a home typically measures 5-by-7 feet. In that space you will find a toilet, sink and shower/tub combination. Bathrooms may be intentionally designed that way to create more living space in bedrooms and on the main floor.

If you’re thinking about remodeling a bathroom, what are the things that are motivating you? Could it be that you dislike cleaning a shower stall with sliding doors that sometimes get stuck on the tracks? Have you experienced mold on the ceilings and walls due to inadequate ventilation? Have you grown weary of the tile and flickering of fluorescent lights? Do you find the general layout of the room dysfunctional and perhaps even unsafe for users?

People are devoting more attention to creating personal spaces in their homes. Bathrooms have become private retreats designed for both function and comfort. A bathroom is often one of the smallest rooms in a house and that is why a well conceived design is essential to fully optimize the space.
