Is your bathroom looking a little dated and worn? Do you dread using it each morning? It might be time to give your bathroom an upgrade with a remodel. Here are some signs to look for when deciding if your bathroom is due for a makeover.

Functional Fails

If certain elements in your bathroom simply don’t function properly anymore, a remodel can help get things working again. Carefully check all the fixtures and appliances in your bathroom. Do the faucets have low water pressure or leak? Does the toilet run constantly or have trouble flushing? Is the exhaust fan ineffective at removing humidity or odors? Any of these functional fails are good indicators that a bathroom remodel is in order. Meet with a qualified home remodeler to inspect your bathroom appliances and fixtures. They can provide recommendations on replacing outdated or malfunctioning items with higher-performing options that will stand the test of time.

Outdated Style

Step into your bathroom and take a good look around. Does the overall aesthetic seem outdated or straight out of the 70s or 80s? If the cabinets, flooring, tile, hardware, and other elements combine to give your bathroom a stale, antiquated style, a remodel can help modernize the look. From new cabinetry finishes to updated tile and lighting, a home remodeler has endless options to freshen up the style of your bathroom. Out with the old, dried up caulking, worn carpets, and flaky paint, and in with new waterproof vinyl plank flooring, sleek chrome fixtures, and fresh paint colors. Remodeling can completely transform the entire visual appeal.

Tight on Space

Take a few moments to analyze the layout and dimensions of your bathroom. Is the space very cramped and tight, allowing little room to move around? Can more than one person not use the bathroom comfortably at the same time? A bathroom remodel opens up new possibilities for improving flow and spaciousness. Knocking down walls, removing bulky jetted tubs to replace them with space-saving showers, adding windows or skylights, and reworking storage are all ways a home remodeler can reconfigure your bathroom layout. The result is a roomier, more comfortable experience for all.
