What’s a Bathroom Remodel?

Bathroom remodeling involves changing your bathroom’s layout, fixtures, and finishes. The primary goals of a bathroom remodel are to update the appearance, improve functionality, and enhance the overall design.

At Signature Kitchens Additions & Baths, we specialize in larger bathroom projects and have the expertise to transform outdated bathrooms into stunning, personalized spaces.

What a Bathroom Renovation Entails

A bathroom renovation is a more extensive project that goes beyond cosmetic updates. It often involves significant structural changes to the space. A bathroom renovation may include reconfiguring the layout, expanding the space, or even combining multiple rooms to create a luxurious primary suite or spa-like bathroom.

Key Differences & Considerations for a Bathroom Remodel vs. Renovation

When deciding between a bathroom remodel and renovation, it’s important to consider several factors, including:

  • Scope: A bathroom remodel typically focuses on cosmetic updates, such as replacing fixtures and surfaces, and refreshing the overall look. It’s great if you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to enhance your bathroom’s appearance. A bathroom renovation involves more extensive work, including structural modifications, plumbing and electrical updates, and potentially adding square footage. 
  • Budget: The scope of the project directly impacts the budget. Bathroom remodels generally require a lower investment compared to renovations. The cost of materials, labor, and potential structural changes in a renovation project can significantly increase the budget. We understand the importance of budget considerations and work closely with our clients to provide tailored solutions that meet their financial goals while delivering exceptional results.
  • Time frame: Bathroom remodels typically take less time to complete compared to bathroom renovations. Since renovations involve more complex work, including potential structural modifications, they generally take longer.
  • Expertise and guidance: Both bathroom remodels and renovations can benefit from the expertise of a professional remodeling company like Signature Kitchens Additions & Baths. Our team has extensive experience in transforming bathrooms, and we provide guidance and support throughout the process.
