When it comes to home renovation, homeowners are frequently advised to focus on their bathrooms. Your bathroom or bathrooms can make or break a house during refinancing or selling, which makes it all the more important to keep them fresh and modern rather than old and dated. Simple components like wallpaper, toilet style, and even the shape of your sink basin will quickly signal to buyers or home assessors how old your house is, regardless of how many renovations you have done in other parts. Thankfully, a ‘start-from-scratch’ overhaul isn’t necessarily a must; a few skilled professionals like those at CW Service Pros will be able to use existing plumbing structures to install your new hardware quickly.
Restore Your Throne
Not only is an outdated toilet more likely to leave you with issues like a cracked seal or a faulty flush, it may be using a lot more water than you need. Selecting a low-flow toilet or a model that uses water more efficiently will likely eliminate your backflow and clog woes while instantly freshening up the look of the entire bathroom. Modern toilets have a distinct design that features clean edges and less obtrusive flushing handles, making this bathroom centerpiece far less clunky than the overly-rounded angles of 70’s to 90’s toilets.
Clean Up Your Sink
The right sink basin can go a long way in your bathroom. If you’re hurting for storage space, a tidy low-profile cabinet adds a space to stash toiletries and towels. If your basin is colored, this design feature is likely setting the “feel” of your bathroom backwards 30 years or more – opt for a clean white model instead of existing pinks, blues, or beige and you won’t have to worry about clashing with additional renovations. If your sink is taking up a lot of space at waist height, this is also the time to select a shorter, deeper basin to open up the floor area a little.
Toss Your Showerhead
Have you been “dealing” with the low water pressure and mediocre coverage of your showerhead for years? Start enjoying your morning showers with an affordable, luxurious showerhead available through your local home improvement store. Call a plumbing pro at CW Service Pros to give your shower plumbing a once-over. Residue in your shower pipes from hard water or improper angling can lead to issues like lackluster hair and soap that won’t produce suds, which means that getting a pipe checkup is definitely a worthwhile endeavor. Once you’ve repaired the look and function of these three important bathroom fixtures, the impact of new wall paint or paper will be that much more profound. A better bathroom will not only wow your guests, it will lead to higher offers when it comes time to sell, and more generous assessments that increase your home’s value for refinancing. If you’ve been putting off redoing your bathroom, there’s never been a better time to roll up your sleeves and start planning a powder room that will make you proud.
