We have a booth at the home show this week for the first time. It seems to be working out OK. One of the things we are being asked a lot about is bathroom remodels and the costs that are associated with them. We had a couple ask us if we could do a bathroom remodel for less than $20,000. Our response was of course we can and have but we have also had bathrooms remodels that costs more. The costs are driven by how much plumbing, electrical and the kind of tile you want to use in your bath. One of the things that good companies can do is find places that you can get the things you want at a cheaper price. We know where to buy granite countertops, tile and cabinets and other products cheaper than you can normally find them. Everyone has a budget and everyone wants what they want. Sometime those two things don’t match. We can help bridge the gap between what you want and what fits within your budget. Do you really need to spend $10-12/sq ft on travertine? We can find it sometime for $8/sq ft if you are more flexible on the colors of the tile. Do you really “want” travertine or do you want it just because your neighbor has it?

Bathroom countertops are another place where we many times save people lots of money. Normally bathroom countertops are smaller so you don’t need to buy a full 4’ x 8’ slab of granite, but if you fall in love with a specific style you will need to buy an entire slab from the granite company as they don’t normally sell a half a piece of granite. So if you are flexible in the colors you want we can go looking for remnants (smaller pieces left over from other jobs) these leftover chunks of granite many times are large enough to cover the bath vanity top. You can save $100’s of dollars but asking us to find a remnant that looks like “whatever your 1^st choice is”.

My point is whatever your budget $5000-$45000 for your bathroom remodel there are ways that we can help to make sure you stay within your budget and still get what you want which is an updated bathroom that you can enjoy.  Have an Amazing Day
