5 Common Bathroom Remodeling Mistakes to Avoid

When it comes to bathroom remodeling, you don’t want to be making costly or irreparable mistakes—especially when you may be remodeling to fix previous errors. While it seems less daunting than some other household tasks, bathroom remodeling requires skill, patience, and knowledge.bathroom-remodeling-frederick-md

If you’re planning on performing a bathroom remodel yourself, or even hiring someone to do it, make sure you don’t make the following common mistakes.

Mistake #1: Going cheap on materials

You want the materials and products used in your remodel to last. While going cheap will save you money upfront, you’ll be sorry down the road when you start having constant problems with your drains, or your tiles start cracking from being wet. Spend a little more upfront on your bathroom remodeling to save you time and money later.

Mistake #2: Rushing

The bathroom being out of commission for a little while is certainly inconvenient. What’s more inconvenient is when it’s constantly out of commission due to the toilet constantly acting up. Rushing your bathroom remodeling, whether doing it yourself or paying a contractor, ends in sloppy results that may cause issues down the road.

Mistake #3: Going cheap on labor

Sure, a cheap bathroom remodeling special is tempting, but is the company reputable? Multiple bad reviews and lack of testimonials should be a warning sign. While you may pay less for the job, you run the risk of not being happy with the end result, or even having to pay another contractor to fix a mistake the cheaper one made.

Mistake #4: Uneducated upgrades

Technological advances offer a wide range of fancy bathroom upgrades, such as his and her showerheads, smart toilets, and more. However, some of these options can put a toll on your water usage, and sometimes energy usage depending on the upgrade. Make sure you know product demands and how they work before having them installed during bathroom remodeling. The last thing you want is to damage your current systems or receive a surprise with your water or energy bill.

Mistake #5: Not enough storage

Many people focus on the tub, shower, toilet, floors and wall paint during a bathroom remodeling. But what about cabinets? Shelves? We store a lot of things in our bathrooms, from hygiene products to towels, and we need a place to put them. Make sure you have enough storage for all your bathroom needs.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
