How Can I Lower the Cost of Renovating a Bathroom?

Remodeing a bathroom can be expensive, but there are plenty of ways to maximize the value of your investment.

Don’t Hesitate. The average cost of renovating a bathroom will continue to rise, so getting your project started sooner rather than later is the easiest way to save money. Improveit offers down-to-the-penny quotes that are good for a full year, so schedule an appointment today to insulate your investment against price increases into 2023!
Invest in Quality. Choosing value-priced bathroom products and services may seem like a smart cost-saving measure, but what you save on price you pay for in the long run. Budget bathroom remodeling, like tub and shower liners, are often installed without fully solving underlying problems like leaky plumbing and mold. You’ll likely end up replacing those low-cost “solutions” at least once more, and potentially paying for costly repairs behind them.
Choose the Best Warranty. Taking advantage of Improveit’s unbeatable warranty will also save you from having to remodel your bathroom ever again (unless you want to, of course!). Our lifetime, transferrable warranty covers both labor and materials – and can be transferred to new owners, adding value to the sale of your home.
