If you’re ready to remodel your bathroom, congratulations! At Golden Hammer Remodeling, we know the journey ahead is exciting — and requires some important decisions. Even with professional designers and our experienced remodeling team guiding you, many choices will still be yours.
Where things will go, how much you want to spend, what it will look like, and how it will function — it’s all up to you. Our step-by-step guide below will help you navigate through the planning and design phase with confidence. Stay focused on your vision, lean on our expertise, and most importantly, plan carefully.
Step 1: Ask Yourself What You Are Trying to Achieve
It sounds simple: “I need a new bathroom.” But when you’re investing your time and money, you want to be sure you’re doing it right — and ending up with a space you truly love.
Before anything else, envision your perfect bathroom. Forget money and space limits for now — what would your ideal space include? Also, think about the bathroom’s intended use:
- Is it a master bath, powder room, or kids’ bathroom?
- Who will be using it?
- How often will it be used?
- What features are non-negotiable for you?
Other important questions to guide your planning:
- How many people will use the bathroom?
- What’s your morning and nighttime routine?
- How is your current bathroom slowing you down?
- Are you planning to age in place?
- Do you need a space that’s easy to clean?
- Is maximizing storage a priority?
- Or are you focused on relaxation and luxury?
- Would you love a towel warmer, a steam shower, or a TV?
Why Are You Remodeling?
Typically, people remodel their bathrooms for one or more of three reasons:
1. Updating the Look
If you’re happy with the layout but want a fresher, more stylish space, you’ll mostly focus on choosing new materials — tile, countertops, cabinetry, and fixtures.
At Golden Hammer Remodeling, we also check for hidden issues like dry rot, plumbing problems, or outdated wiring, ensuring we build on a solid foundation and not just cover up issues temporarily.
2. Boosting Resale Value
Planning to sell? A modernized bathroom can significantly raise your home’s value.
We stay informed about what today’s buyers want and help you make design decisions that appeal to the market without overspending. We’ll advise you based on real trends and what makes sense for your area.
3. Improving Functionality and Storage
Tired of a poorly placed vanity or a door that hits the toilet? Wish you had double sinks or a larger, brighter shower instead of an unused tub?
This type of remodel may involve a full gut renovation and possibly reconfiguring plumbing and electric. It’s a more extensive project — and at Golden Hammer Remodeling, we ensure it’s done right, from the structure to the stunning finishes.
