FACTORS THAT PLAY A ROLE IN RENOVATION COSTS

Planning Bathroom Renovation Burlington is not an easy task. You need to decide on the kind of renovation work that you want to carry out, whether you want to do a complete renovation or a part renovation. The kind of fixtures that you want to opt for. Before you can go ahead with anything, you need to decide on a budget that you are going to be spending on carrying out the renovation work. Figuring out a budget can be overwhelming as various factors play a determining role. We have listed a couple of factors that you should keep in mind while drawing up the budget for your next bathroom renovation.

Contractor

There is no one rate for all contractors. The amount charged by the contractor is based on what they think is fair and this would have a determining role on the overall spending of renovation. The costs of labour range from $45 to $100 at max.

Kind of Renovation

The cost of renovation is also dependent on whether you want to carry out a whole bathroom makeover or merely change some fixtures or repaint the bathroom. If you want to renovate your bathroom completely then you might have to pay a bit more. In such a situation you can expect to pay about $250 per square foot.

Materials Used

The kind of material used, along with its quality play a determinant factor in the budget. If you want to opt for materials that are unique and not available easily or locally, then you should expect to spend more than easily available material. The better quality material you opt for, the more expensive it would be. However, the higher quality material would serve you for a longer time to come than the cheaper material so it has a great return value.

Space

The size and space occupied by the bathroom also play into the cost of the renovation. Some bathrooms have tight spaces which are hidden around the corners. These spaces can be a little difficult to get to. Carrying out renovation work in such a space needs more time and effort. Renovating such a bathroom can be a little bit more expensive than renovating bathrooms with easily available materials.

Location of the Property

The materials used for renovation have different prices in different areas. Where you live and where the material is sourced from will determine how much money you would be spending.

Set Aside some extra budget

After calculating all these costs, you must keep about 30% of the budget as an extra. This is crucial as it will help you to be prepared for any mishap that can happen. Even though the contractor would share the costing, it is still best to be prepared for the worst situation possible.
