Here They Share 5 Tips for Surviving a Renovation:
Living through a renovation can be stressful, but there are five tips you can consider that will help the process go smoothly.
1. Set a realistic budget.
The most common mistake homeowners make is operating at their maximum budget allowance and not saving extra for those unexpected costs or splurge items. A realistic budget should be 80% of what you can actually afford, leaving 10% for surprises (even the best contractors can’t know what hides behind walls), and 10% for decorating once the project is completed.
2. Determine your desired timeline for completion.
Keep in mind that delays often happen, regardless of how well you have planned. Materials get back-ordered, bad weather can delay exterior work, and tradespeople may get sick or require extra time to make sure the job is done properly.
3. Hire construction experts for anything you are unsure of.
It is always best to hire licensed professionals because they are bonded and insured. You want to hire someone who works with a formal contract and can provide references. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Select someone with who you can communicate clearly about all aspects of the project. Write down a list of questions as you think of them, such as, ‘What payments do I have to make and when? Am I coordinating the trades or will they be your responsibility?' Contact local associations for referrals if you do not know where to start.
4. Be realistic about living through a renovation.
Can you segregate yourself to another area and be comfortable? Do you need to move out for a little while? Keep in mind that most contractors and trades keep construction hours from 7 am to 3 or 4 pm. Will this be disruptive to you or your family members?
Also consider the levels of dust and how they affect those children, pets, and those afflicted with respiratory difficulties. Moving out during a renovation is often a good idea. It also means the job site can operate more efficiently if you and your family are not in the way.
5. The design aspects of your project.
Are you creating something that will look dated in five years or can it be easily adapted to current trends as they change? This is where hiring professional interior designers, decorators and architects is a good investment. Not only can they help you define your style, but they can also mediate between you and the contractor and trades which will alleviate a lot of the renovation stress. These professionals typically cost approximately 5% of your renovation budget and they make sure that your visions for your renovation become a reality.

1. MEASURE YOUR BATHROOM & DRAW YOUR PLAN
Tips and tricks:
- Measure the space between your walls.
- Provide the location of doors, windows, and other space constraints.
- Indicate the positioning of the existing plumbing if you want to limit the cost of the project.
- Ideally allow 30" of clearance in front of the bathtub, toilet, sink base, and shower.
- Allow 24" to 36" wide for toilet space.
2. SPECIFY YOUR NEEDS & BUDGET
Who will use this room?
- For a family bathroom, consider optimizing storage and opting for durable and easy-to-clean materials.
- Master bathroom - choose creatively designed sink bases that feature high-quality materials.
- Guest bathroom - You want it to be elegant, flamboyant, and stylish. Choose a streamlined design using bright materials
What products best suit your space?
Certain collections and products are nicely suited for smaller spaces.
What style do you like?
Contemporary, transitional, or traditional…1 tone or 2 tones… mounted on the wall, floor, or on legs; let your style do the choosing! Your bathroom style should ideally blend in with the rest of your home.
What is your budget?
The cost of a bathroom renovation should be about 5% of your home valuation, for example, $15,000 for a home worth $300,000.
It is a worthy investment! According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, bathroom renovations are second only to kitchens in the list of works that generate the best return on investment. The recovery value is estimated at about 85%.
Keep in mind that expenses incurred vary a lot depending on the materials chosen.
