It seems that life is busier than ever! You have work, home life, kids, extracurricular activities, and so much more taking your time. When you begin to think about making over any part of your home, you wonder where you are going to find the time to get everything done. Another factor is how long is everything going to take? You might be doing some of the remodel yourself, or you might contract out and have everything handled by someone else. When you consider a bathroom remodel, there are many factors that go into how long it is going to take. On average, a bathroom remodel will take a little over a month. Let’s explore different ways that this timeline can change.
Totality of Remodel
If you are going to change out the already existing fixtures, it will take less time than if you are going to rearrange where the fixtures are in your current setup. The amount of a remodel you are going to do will affect how long the remodel will take. If elements of your remodel need to set or dry before you can move onto something else, will also affect the timeline. So, the abovementioned timeframe of needing to plan for a month for a remodel might be an overstatement. Especially, if you are just making minor changes to your space.
Who Will Remodel
Another factor that affects how long the remodel will take is who is doing the remodel. Are you going to fix it yourself? Are you going to have a remodel party and invite your friends to help you as well? Or were you planning on hiring a contractor to complete your remodel for you? A further question is, will the person you hire as a contractor complete the work themselves, or will they hire subcontractors to help them with the various elements that are needed to complete the bathroom transformation?
Materials
One thing that you can’t really control is how available the materials are that you would like to use. If you choose a popular pattern or color, you might not be able to implement all the changes at once. Or you might need to go with your second or third choice if you gave yourself options. You might find that the material you would like to use is more readily available in a different time of year. If there are supply issues, it might just be available when it is available. One way to lessen this issue is to determine the materials you would like to use and see how much you will need. Determining how available it is before you begin.
