Anytime you make a major purchase you’ll need to consider the same things: What your motivation is, what your budget is, and what the expected return on investment is. For example, when shopping for a car, the right choice depends on whether you want a new car or you’re buying out of necessity, whether you’re looking for a family vehicle or a short-term car that you’ll upgrade in the next few years.
Likewise, there are numerous things to consider before starting your bathroom remodel. The first thing to really think about is why you’re remodeling. Do you want it to work better for you because you intend to be in your home for many years to come? Or are you looking to increase the value of your home as much as possible?

Focus on the wow factor
Most homes have enough bathrooms but older homes may have just a single bathroom. When a buyer is looking for a home, they’re likely looking for several bathrooms and the cost and hassle of adding a bathroom could be what tips the scales in favor of another home. Going from one bathroom to several can result in 80% or more of your remodeling expenses being recouped in added home value.
The return in your investment will depend greatly on the value of other homes in the area, the current value of your home, and the quality of your remodel. Look in your area to see what’s typical there. Look for popular features that many homes for sale seem to have. You do want to invest enough to boost the value of your home – and make it stand out amongst other sin the area – but you don’t want to raise it so much that you end up pricing yourself out of your own neighborhood.
There’s so much time spent in our kitchen and bathrooms that they can be not only the most expensive rooms to renovate but the rooms that cause the most upheaval in our daily lives to renovate. When you work with Mission West Kitchen & Bath for an incredible bathroom design, people considering buying your home will have the feeling that they could move in tomorrow without having to replace all the fixtures, or make other major improvements.
If you don’t want to do a gut rehab on your bathroom, focus on the items that people are going to notice the moment they walk into the room. For example, an incredible bath tub can be enough to make someone fall in love with your bathroom the moment they walk into it.
