Choose Your Path - Problems with Remodeling Baths
By Milos Pesic

Tired of looking at the grime on the tiles? Do you want his and her sinks so you don't have to fight over it every morning? Do you want to add a tub or maybe install a glass door for the shower? These are some questions that can be answered by remodeling a bathroom. However, before you decide to push through with a project that most homeowners consider high on their priorities for improving their home, considering the problems with remodeling baths is a must.

There are many problems with remodeling baths but the first problem to encounter isn't necessarily during the implementation of the project but in planning how you would implement the project. Remodeling a bathroom can be done as a turnkey project, self-contract or a do-it-yourself project.

A turnkey project means that you hire a contractor to carry out your plans for remodeling. The contractor provides the experience with renovation and the connections to subcontractors for electricity, water and other essentials to renovation. However, problems with remodeling baths can still come up even with a contractor involved. Some contractors would leave the final parts of the project up to the homeowner, like the final details of design.

A self-contract means that you will be your own contractor. Although this saves more money, this also means that there is less experience involved and fewer connections to exercise and finish the project. Thus, more problems with remodeling baths will be encountered. You will have to do more research and planning to make sure that the renovation all goes according to your plans and design. You will have to be very involved with having to procure the needed permits and contracts as well as contacting workers and managing the work flow.

But if you're ready and willing to take on the whole job, the do-it-yourself route can be your option. Although there are several good reasons for you to take on the job, like saving money and complete control, there are also several problems with remodeling baths that come in with this type of project. You'll need to be experienced or at the very least, backed by skills needed for remodeling. The amount of remodeling you do in baths is limited by how much experience you have. Buying or renting the specialized tools, sacrificing time and managing your time are some other problems with remodeling baths that you might encounter.

Whichever type of project you choose to go through in pushing through plans of remodeling a bathroom, there are some problems that need to be tackled. Choose your path wisely to gain the greatest satisfaction in improving your home.
