If you are planning bathroom remodeling in San Diego, CA, you most likely are going to be giving your shower a makeover or replacing it completely. In either case, keeping a few things in mind when designing this makeover can ensure you get the most bang for your buck and have a shower you are happy with for years to come.
Budget
The first (and most important) consideration should be the budget for the project. Whether the shower remodels are the entire project or a small part of the whole overall bathroom remodels, you need to know how much money to allow for this element.
Sit down and determine the price range you feel comfortable with and then stay within this range. When talking with contractors, make sure they are aware of your budget upfront so they can help you stay within your desired range.
Shower Floor Selection
There are several different materials of tiles to choose from when it comes to shower flooring. Just some of these include ceramic, porcelain, limestone, travertine, slate, marble, and more. Each of these materials has its own set of pros and cons and your contractor can help you decide which material will be best suited for your needs and your budget.
One thing to keep in mind is that smaller tiles, in any material, work better for shower floors as they are easier to slope for drainage and provide the most traction.
Shower Lighting
One element that homeowners often overlook is shower lighting. While there may be a light in the bathroom, it is nice to have extra lighting over the shower area. Selecting fixtures that suit your personal style and taste can enhance the overall look and design of the bathroom. You can also add a dimmer switch to the lighting to create a more spa-like experience.
Showerhead
One element that is simple yet can make or break your shower experience is the showerhead. Selecting the right one can be a game-changer. Some of the most popular styles include rain, adjustable, high-pressure, single spray, and even filtered shower heads. With so many to choose from, finding one that fits your preferences should be no problem.
Choose a Reputable Company
Designing your shower is great, but if you don’t have the right company doing the work, your dream shower can turn into a nightmare quickly. Make sure you have a reputable and honest contractor doing the work. How do you know if it’s a good company? Ask questions. Some of the things you may ask are:
- Do they offer any guarantees on their work?
- How long have they been in business?
- What is the timeline of the project?
- Do they have reviews and/or testimonials from past clients you can read?
- Do they provide your estimate and costs in writing?
