However, understanding these five things may make you change your mind.
Choosing the wrong materials.
One of the biggest mistakes that inexperienced homeowners make with DIY bathroom remodeling is choosing the wrong materials. From paint to wallpaper, tiles to vanities, every item you select needs to withstand high moisture levels. Without such properties, you could be facing some serious disappointment with the remodel a few years in.
Under (or over) estimating your space.
Another common mistake is planning a remodel without knowing the proper dimensions. Understanding the piping and electrical will provide you with a better idea of the workable space. For example, unless your rewiring and reworking the plumbing, the toilet, sink, and shower will need to remain in the same (or close to) space. Thus, understanding the current dimensions of each area and the workable space around it will empower you to draft a clear blueprint.
Forgetting about your budget.
Let’s face it; remodels can add up – and quickly. Before you ever begin, set a budget and stick to it. The last thing you want is to walk away from your remodel with a tremendous amount of debt looming over your head.
Thinking you’re an expert.
Perhaps a complete overhaul of the bathroom layout is in the plan. If so, understanding areas like electrical, plumbing and basic handiwork is a must. Especially in older homes, you never know what you’ll find once you tear down the wall. Do yourself a favor and know when to call in the experts.
Losing your oomph.
Finally, it’s imperative to understand that DIY can be a lot of work! Unless you’re experienced, remodeling a bathroom can be quite a journey. From one problem to the next, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to lose their oomph after a while. However, having a ripped-up, unusable bathroom is definitely not ideal. Know your limits and know when to ask for help.
