Benefits of Remodeling Your Bathroom
By R. Madison

Are you trying to decide whether or not you want to remodel your bathroom or not? You may have been mulling over this decision for weeks or even months. You may not want to deal with the headache of construction in the house or you may not feel and though it will benefit you enough. Well, the truth is there are many different benefits to remodeling your bathroom and here are a few.

The first and most important of all the benefits is the possibility of increasing your house's value. This will mainly happen when you make upgrades to your existing bathroom and not when you are simply fixing up the old bathroom to look relatively the same. Most upgrades to an existing bathroom will increase the overall value of a house however, the size of the increase may depend on the size of the upgrade. If you are simply purchasing and installing a better bath tub then the increase may be small but if you are increasing shower space as well as redoing the floors and walls you may see a significant increase in values.

In certain parts of the country, remodeling your bathroom can give you a pretty significant return on your investment. And that's exactly what putting money into your home can be, an investment. You must choose wisely what you focus on renovating.

· A bathroom renovation may return anywhere from 102% to over 130% on your money that you put into the renovations

· A kitchen renovation could return anywhere from 103% to over 130% on your money that you put into the renovations

· Replacing and upgrading your windows could return anywhere from 111% to over 140% on your money

As you can see, with a job well done you will be making a sound investment if you decide to renovate your bathroom. The money that you put into the bathroom renovations may be recouped and then some at the time of the sale of your house.

A close second to increasing the house's value is making your living space beautiful. If you are contemplating whether a bathroom renovation is right for you than chances are that something about the look and feel of your bathroom does not sit right with you. The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house and if you are unhappy with it's appearance it has a tendency to get under your skin. Once your bathroom is redone, it really makes you feel better about your living space.

If you are like many homeowners, you are still stuck in your decision of whether or not a bathroom renovation is right for you. You may not want to pay for the project or you just may not want to deal with the headache. You should know that there are many benefits to renovating your bathroom. The main benefit to renovating is the value that it will add to your home. So if you are still trying to decide whether or not to spend the money, don't worry. If the job is done correctly and the plan is right, you may find that your investment will be recouped and then some.
