Hidden Pitfalls When Doing a Bathroom Remodel

10

You’ve been dreaming about doing that bathroom remodel in Phoenix. In your mind’s eye you can already picture the end result: a beautiful oasis, or perhaps a more functional room to get the kids ready for school, or maybe even a guest bath to impress your visitors.

So you set aside a budget to complete your bathroom remodel in Phoenix. But suddenly you find out that you need to lay out more money than you originally anticipate for your bathroom remodel in Phoenix.

Why? What happened?

The reason this happens from time to time is because a bathroom remodel in Phoenix is largely considered “hidden” work. Your contractor may be able to get a sneak peek at the walls, ceiling and flooring when doing the estimate, but they won’t really know the extent of any problems until they start doing your bathroom remodel in Phoenix.

What kind of issues? Here are the more common ones that crop up during a bathroom remodel in Phoenix…

Plumbing Problems Which May Appear During Bathroom Remodeling in Phoenix

Once you tear down the walls and peel back the flooring, you may be surprised to find corroded plumbing when you’re doing bathroom remodeling in Phoenix. A good contractor is going to require you to fix this plumbing problem before he or she continues the remodeling work.

Structural Floor Problems Which May Appear During Bathroom Remodeling in Phoenix

Sometimes plumbers cut notches out of floor joists to accommodate pipes, which makes your flooring unstable. Indeed, we simply can’t lay certain types of flooring during a bathroom remodel in Phoenix if the structural support isn’t there.

Mold and Rot Problems Which May Appear During Bathroom Remodeling in Phoenix

It’s not all that unusual to find mold, mildew or even rotting drywall or flooring when doing a bathroom remodel in Phoenix, since the bathroom is a damp place. When you hire us for your bathroom remodel, our experts will talk to you about how to use good ventilation and high-quality materials to avoid moisture problems in the future.
