Cleaning up: After the painting is complete, we will thoroughly clean the work area and remove all drop cloths and masking materials.

That depends on a few factors. Chances are good that your current floor plan follows one of a few tried-and-true layouts that are designed to maximize space in what is usually a pretty small room. Moving things around and coming up with a new plan that you're satisfied with may be really difficult. The other issue is that it's a lot more expensive to relocate a fixture such as a toilet than it is to just install a new toilet in the same spot where the old one was. If you're looking for ways to keep your budget under control, it makes sense to stick with the same layout you currently have.

That being said, sometimes there are situations where the floor plan is just not working for you and really does need to be changed. Maybe there were errors when the room was first constructed, and you have problems such as the door not being able to open all the way because it bumps into the sink. If your current layout just isn't right and doesn't work for your household, it's time for a change.

It's a good idea to sketch out a top-down view of what you're thinking. It doesn't have to be an artistic masterpiece, but just seeing your thoughts on paper in front of you will help you identify potential trouble spots and make sure you've got enough space to move around properly. It'll also go a long way toward helping your bathroom remodelers understand exactly what kind of bathroom remodel in Keller, TX you are looking for.

According to the City of Keller, "A permit is required to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure; or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system." That means permits will likely be necessary for some parts of your bathroom remodel in Keller, TX unless it's a light renovation that only involves changing out tiles, countertops or other surface finishes.

However, that's not something you have to worry about too much—our expert team has completed dozens of handyman projects in Keller, and we know which permits are needed for which projects. Our handymen will take care of pulling all necessary permits so you don't have to wade through the paperwork. The City of Keller also requires contractors to register with them before performing remodeling work, and our team members are all fully registered. You can rest assured that our team always meets or exceeds municipal and state requirements, and our team takes care to maintain a safe workplace so we can deliver services with attractive, long-lasting results.

Our technicians are sometimes asked if it's okay to just get rid of the bath altogether. If you don't enjoy taking baths and never use the tub, converting a tub-shower combo (or just a solo bathtub) to a large, luxurious shower may make perfect sense for you. By getting rid of the tub in favor of a new shower remodel, you get extra space for amenities like a tiled bench seat, additional water jets and storage options for all the bottles and items you want to keep on hand in the shower. That being said, there are two situations in which you may want to rethink ditching your bathtub:

If you're likely to have toddlers in your household within the next few years, you're going to want to hang on to the tub. It is not easy to wash a toddler in a shower—they're slippery!

If you are thinking of selling your home in the near future and you don't have another bathtub elsewhere in your house, it's a good idea to leave it in place. Most prospective home buyers want at least one bathtub, so it could make the sale more difficult if you have removed it.

Most of us aren't professional designers, so when it's time to pick out the colors for a bathroom remodel, Keller, TX homeowners aren't always sure where to start. If you want to sell your property in the near future, it's a good idea to stick with a neutral color palette. But if you're not selling, this is the perfect chance to bring your sense of interior design style into your home.

Try the 60-30-10 trick to help you find the right balance between your color choices. That means the primary color you choose will apply to roughly 60% of the room, 30% of the room will be a complementary secondary color, and the remaining 10% will be dedicated to a contrasting accent color.

The average amount that people in the U.S. spend on bathroom remodeling costs is $10,000. However, knowing the average cost is probably not going to be very helpful because there's such a wide range of possible expenses depending on what you want and need, from a couple of thousand dollars to well over $30,000.

When it comes to creating a budget for your bathroom remodel in Keller, TX, there are lots of options available for keeping costs low while ensuring you get great results. Even by completing a few small changes, such as replacing your flooring or adding trim, you can refresh the feeling that you get from your bathroom and make it more inviting.

Definitely! A great way to breathe new life into an aging bathroom is by addressing necessary repairs, such as fixing tiles, and adding small but impactful elements like a modern towel rack or eye-catching trim details. Alternatively, consider focusing on a smaller-scale renovation, such as updating the standalone shower with fresh tiles and appealing features, rather than tackling a complete bathroom overhaul in Keller.

Consider enhancing your bathroom's function and appearance with a tub-shower conversion, a fantastic alternative to a full renovation. If you're not making the most of your bathtub-shower combination, our experts can transform it by removing the tub and installing a spacious, light-filled shower enclosure that better caters to your needs. In addition to maximizing natural light, our Keller bathroom remodelers can incorporate lavish touches such as a built-in tiled shower bench to elevate your shower experience. Conversely, if you're longing for the relaxation of a bath but only have a shower, we can install a tub-shower combo, offering the best of both worlds.

Are you planning on putting your house up for sale on the real estate market? If so, a bathroom remodel in Keller, TX should be at the top of your list of projects that can increase property value and ensure a quick sale. A bathroom remodeling project can potentially increase the value of the home, and property owners are often able to recoup a large percentage of remodel costs in the sale price.

But it's not just about the actual selling price. Alongside kitchens, bathrooms are the most important part of a house for many prospective home buyers. That's because those are the rooms that are full of fixtures and built-in features like cabinets, so if those rooms are in rough shape, the potential new homeowners will be faced with a remodel before they can move in. Most would prefer a turn-key home that already has the appropriate renovations taken care of. As a result, the right bathroom remodel in Keller, TX can go a long way toward impressing prospective buyers and real estate professionals, which means the sale is likely to happen faster, and you can avoid a long, drawn-out selling period so you can move on new horizons.
