Bathrooms are a workhorse in every home. From getting ready for work each morning to giving your children baths in the evenings, you use your bathrooms day in and day out.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to update your bathroom, or maybe you’ve noticed recently that your space is no longer meeting your needs. You’ve been thinking about a bathroom remodel, but it’s a significant investment and it’s not always easy to know when it’s the right time to take on such a project.
Our experienced designers and builders at Hamilton Homes can help you decide. We’ve worked with homeowners across Indianapolis to update their bathrooms to fit their families’ evolving needs.
If you’ve been talking about doing a bathroom remodel but you haven’t gotten around to it, take a look at these signs that it’s time to get started.
1. Your bathroom is in poor condition
Even with the best care, bathrooms deteriorate over time. Wear and tear, such as peeling paint, cracked tiles, or mold, could be signs of bigger issues. Some of these problems can even pose a health hazard. A bathroom remodel can fix issues at the source rather than covering them up with cosmetic changes.
2. Your bathroom is too small
Bathrooms are getting more attention in modern home design, and that means bathrooms in many older homes often feel small, dark, and cramped. A bathroom remodel project gives you the opportunity to add square footage and make your bathroom feel more spacious and luxurious.
3. Your bathroom is outdated
It’s no secret that trends in bathroom fixtures change. If your bathroom is stuck in a different decade, it may be time for a remodel. Outdated bathrooms can make your entire home feel dated, and a remodel can bring your bathroom up to date with the latest styles and trends.
4. Your bathroom isn’t energy-efficient
Along with design trends, a lot has changed in energy efficiency in recent years. Older bathrooms have faucets, lights, and other fixtures that simply aren’t energy efficient. That means you’re likely spending more money on utilities than you need to. A bathroom remodel can give you the opportunity to upgrade your fixtures and make your bathroom more economical over time.
5. Your bathroom isn’t accessible
If a member of your family is older or has mobility issues, renovation can make your bathroom more accessible. Upgrades can include adding grab bars, a walk-in shower, or other accessibility features to make using the bathroom safer for everyone.
We know a bathroom remodel feels like a big undertaking, but it’s worth it. A remodel can make your bathroom more functional and increase the value of your home, with an average return on investment of around 50%.
Most importantly, a bathroom remodel can give you a spa-like experience every time you step inside. Contact our design team at Hamilton Homes to get started on your project today.
