🚿 Bathroom remodels are one of the most common projects South Jersey homeowners take on — and one of the most common sources of budget regret. Usually it comes down to the same three mistakes.
𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟭: 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Picking your tile before locking in your plumbing layout is backwards. Once you've committed to a layout, your tile choices have to work around it. Do it in the right order: plumbing rough-in first, then design.
𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟮: 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹.
The shower pan, the backer board, the waterproofing membrane — these are the things nobody sees and nobody brags about. But they're what determines whether your tile looks the same in 10 years or starts cracking and growing mold in three. Cutting costs here costs more later.
𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟯: 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲.
"Just a quick refresh" almost always reveals something — old plumbing that needs updating, subfloor damage from a slow leak, an exhaust fan vented into the attic instead of outside. Budget for discovery. A contractor who can't handle what's behind the wall will hand you a change order.
