It appears that America has truly become renovation nation, as more and more homeowners are choosing to improve the homes they’re already living in rather than move to an entirely new home. In fact, the home renovation and remodeling industry has reported some of their highest sales since prior to the start of the Recession, with over 50% of homeowners agreeing that now is a good time to buy a home. This is highlighted by the fact that retail home improvement giants such as Home Depot and Lowe’s have both reported a significant uptick in sales within the last year.
As such, if there was any time for a bathroom overhaul or remodeling project, it’s now. However, hold on a second. Before you begin searching for bathroom remodeling inspiration on Pinterest or your favorite home improvement blog or magazine, it’s important to create a budget. This includes a bit of padding for any unforeseen expenses, as complications can arise in any remodeling project.
It’s also important to consider more cost-effective alternatives such as bathtub resurfacing over replacing a bathtub. While the actual cost of a bathtub may seem relatively inexpensive, bathtub installation costs can easily run upwards of $1,000 or more due to labor and disposal fees. On the other hand, bathtub refinishing can provide the look and feel of a new bathtub for much less.
Or, perhaps you want to freshen things up without having to do a complete overhaul? Bathtub tile installation is an excellent way to change the look of your bathroom for less. A bathtub tile installation remodeling project can easily change the complete look of your entire bathroom simply by updating your bathtub surround.
The price of a bathtub tile installation project can vary and is heavily dependent upon the square footage of your bathroom. Typically, the cost per square foot hovers between $15 to $21 on average.
