When getting a bathroom renovated, there are many questions around what to expect. There are many decisions to make, understanding how the process works, and the communication between the homeowner and the renovation team.
Deciding you want to renovate is just the first step in the process. Then, the next decision is how much you want to renovate. If you want to change out fixtures or vanities, or if you want to fully gut and remodel. From there, you can start to map out how much it will cost. If you are interested in an estimator, Penn has one at this link: https://www.penncd.com/bathroom-estimator/. A full gut is going to be pricey, but it allows complete freedom to decide what you want for your bathroom.
Then, after the layout is decided, it’s time to make more aesthetic decisions! While this is daunting, our team is here to help you navigate the balance between durability and aesthetics. For instance, while natural stone is beautiful, porcelain tile often offers superior durability and easier maintenance for high-moisture areas. We help you choose tiling (for the floor, shower floor, and shower walls), wall colors, fixtures, lighting, sinks, toilets, and glass options that won’t just look stunning on day one, but will stand the test of time. Newly renovated bathrooms are stunning, and helping homeowners renovate their home for the better is something Penn Construction & Design is extremely invested in.
Communication! The renovation is daunting, but our team remains in constant communication with you throughout. We use JobTread, for daily communication and updates from our team working in your home. Inter
