How to Choose Between Bathroom Renovation Quotes

Choosing to have part of your home renovated is a large decision. While it is likely to increase your home’s value, it is also likely to be disruptive for days or even weeks. In order to minimise this disruption and ensure that your new bathroom reaches its potential, you need to choose not only the best bathroom renovator, but one who provides a reasonable quote. Many homeowners find the process of choosing between bathroom renovation quotes to be a little overwhelming, but here we will help you to obtain all the information needed to make an informed choice.

Check the Price Details:

One of the first steps in choosing between bathroom remodel quotes is to check what costs are included. It is commonplace to compare a couple of quotes, but remember that cheaper isn’t always better. You need to ensure that your new bathroom quote offers "like for like" with the same quality of materials used. If one quote is more than the others, don’t be afraid to ask the contractor why. In some cases, the additional cost may be well worth it.

Although you are likely to want the best deal, you may regret saving a few dollars if you choose the wrong renovator. So, while price is important, it should not be the only consideration.

Look at Portfolios:

Any reputable renovator will have examples of their previous projects. Whether this takes the form of a portfolio or a page on a website, these pictures can provide valuable insight into the standard of work. Pay attention to the smaller details of the work, to check the overall finish. Additionally, consider the style of the project, as if you are looking for an ultra modern finish and your renovator specialises in classic designs, they may not be the best fit.

You can also use the portfolio for a little design inspiration for your project. Take a few notes, so you can discuss the details with the renovator when you decide to move forward.

Research the Company Reputation:

Finally, you need to take a little time to research the reputation of your potential bathroom renovator. With the development of the internet, it has never been easier to find reviews of service providers. Even if you don’t have a personal recommendation for a company, you can use third party reviews to check if they offer a high standard of service. Remember that reviews are from a personal perspective and some people will always find something negative to say. However, if the same comments keep cropping up, it does create a red flag. If there is something disconcerting in the comments, be sure to ask the renovator about it. Communication is vital to a successful project, so it is important to have a chat with your potential renovator before agreeing to the work. An experienced professional will understand that you may have concerns and will be happy to take the time to reassure you.
