Many do so to improve livability and potential resale value, while others simply want to enjoy their homes more. Either way, this has traditionally led to a variety of DIY home remodeling projects. These range from major kitchen remodels to garage makeovers to deck or patio additions.
And, perhaps most often, a DIY bathroom remodel.
Making Use of Design Services for a DIY Bathroom Remodel
Although many homeowners already know their grand plan for their master bath remodel, enlisting the insight and advice of a trusted design service can open new possibilities. Until we’ve taken the time to research our options and see what a design service can recommend, we are limiting our potential.
At their most basic level, designers can help make your bathroom space functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting essential and decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials.
A bathroom designer’s fees can vary depending on the work to be done as well as the price of materials and design services in our area.
In addition to design service fees, the average cost for a mid-range bathroom remodel in the District, according to Remodeling magazine, was $25,201. For the wider South Atlantic region, it was $23,134. This type of home improvement adds a resale value of $14,921 in DC and $13,066 for the rest of the area.
And, when factoring the ROI, a mid-range bathroom remodel recoups 59.2% of the costs compared to just 56.5% for those living in the South Atlantic region.
Of course, these costs reflect hiring a contractor for the job. If you can do most or all of this type of bathroom remodel yourself, you can retain a sizable portion of that projected cost, which would make it quite feasible and cost-effective to bring on design services at the start!
Call Before You Dig’ is Good Advice – Make Use of Utility Locator Services
When planning a DIY bathroom remodel, knowing where the primary utility lines and pipes are can help prevent costly repairs or unintentional damage.
Although it may not be necessary if your DIY bathroom remodel project is limited to upgrading fixtures or replacing tile and flooring, it is still a good idea to know your home’s underground electrical lines, gas pipes, and water and sewer lines are.
This is because if you dig into the ground without first confirming the location of utility lines on your property, you could easily damage your home’s water, gas, electrical, communications, or sewer lines. That could result in utilities being cut off, expensive repairs, and possible injury.
Fortunately, there is a national utility locater service program you can make use of.
811 is the national call-before-you-dig phone number. If you plan to dig, you should call 811 or go to your state 811 center’s website before digging to request that the approximate location of buried utilities on your property be marked with paint or flags. This will help ensure that you don’t unintentionally dig into an underground utility.
However, there’s a bit more to it than that. The 811 service only applies to public utilities.
According to one local service,
“You may require a private utility locator to find and demarcate underground electrical lines, gas pipes, and more on private, residential, commercial, and municipal land.
Private utilities are the lines that run beyond the service meter. For example, electrical cables that go from the meter to a house or building would be considered private. To have these marked, you will need to call in a private underground utility locator.”
Debris Removal Once Your DIY Bathroom Remodel is Complete
And you’ll probably need that service a few times during your project, as well!
One of the things that comes with any home remodeling project is the need for debris removal. And even though it may be a DIY project, that doesn’t mean your junk removal tasks have to be DIY, as well.
In fact, making full use of a reliable, locally-owned, and operated junk removal service means more time to focus on completing your bathroom remodel. Even if you only need a junk removal service once at the end of your project, it is still risky, costly, and highly inconvenient to do it yourself.
Keep in mind, too, that often with remodeling, some of your debris might contain what are known as hazardous waste, or HW, and there are several local, state, and federal regulations that require these items to be handled and disposed of properly.
And, when it comes to the rest of your debris and junk removal needs, it’s nice to know that you don’t have to do it yourself.
