Why Bathroom Remodeling Isn't Always As Scary As It Seems

Bathroom Remodels Are Easy With the Help of a Professional!

As many homeowners know, getting ready to tackle a bathroom remodel can feel like preparing to face off against a horror movie baddie - it's not always clear how things will turn out. Still, it's almost certainly going to be messy, difficult, and spine-tingling. But unlike the hero or heroine in most scary flicks, homeowners don't have to fight this battle alone!

With a qualified professional contractor by their side, homeowners may be surprised just how smooth, easy, and affordable the whole process can be. So instead of falling into a bathroom remodeling nightmare, homeowners can keep reading to learn how hiring a pro can help them achieve the bathroom of their dreams without damaging the plumbing system!

Hiring a Pro Reduces the Risk of Injury

One doesn't need to look very hard on social media or web forums to find horror stories about injuries sustained during DIY home improvement projects. One analysis by an insurance provider found that over 290,000 people in the U.S. went to the emergency room for home improvement-related injuries in 2020. Projects such as bathroom renovations are risky business.

Hiring a qualified professional means homeowners will not be personally exposed to those risks. Pro contractors are experienced in the use of all manner of tools. They are less likely to get injured doing the remodel - and if they do get injured, they have the insurance to cover any medical care they require, so homeowners won't be saddled with the cost.

Professionals Can Help Homeowners Save Money

Professional bathroom remodel contractors have insurance to cover injury and are also insured for mistakes that result in property damage. On the other hand, a DIYer will most likely have to pay out of pocket to repair any blunders or missteps. This is one reason it can end up being cheaper to hire a pro.

Professionals also have all the tools they need to get the job done, whereas the average homeowner will need to purchase or rent the more specialized tools and equipment they'll need - and the costs can add up. For these reasons, homeowners often wind up paying more to complete the work themselves than they would have paid for labor.

Hiring a reputable contractor can also be more economical over the long term since their high-quality workmanship will stand up to the test of time. In many cases, it may even increase the home's value, while DIY renovations often lower it - and may even need to be redone to bring the home up to code before putting it on the market.

Homeowners Can Save Time & Energy By Hiring an Expert

Putting their bathroom makeover in the hands of a professional doesn't just save homeowners money - it also saves precious time and effort. Remodeling a bathroom is a big job involving various skills and a series of mini-projects, from installing a toilet to re-tiling the floor to mounting the sink to sanding and painting the walls, and the list goes on. Not only will DIYers need to take the time to learn how to do all of these things, but they'll also need to do them - which can mean sacrificing evenings, weekends, and every other bit of spare time.

And for those who aren't very familiar with bathroom remodeling, the process tends to take a lot longer than expected. An experienced contractor, however, already has the know-how and the benefit of working on it continuously, which makes the job go much faster and more efficiently. So by letting a pro handle such a big and intensive project, homeowners can relax and spend their time watching scary movies this October - instead of feeling like they're in one!
