According to survey results published in The Huffington Post, “Bathroom remodeling is the most requested job in the United States, accounting for 78% of renovations.” That’s a pretty big deal. So why are homeowners making home improvements and major renovations on their bathrooms before all else?
You Want To Grow Old In Your Home
More and more Americans are living, longer healthier lives — which means more Americans are able to grow old in their homes, with some reasonable adjustments. Refinishing bathtubs (or replacing a bathtub) is necessary if you plan to age in place. Consider replacing more traditional tubs with a walk-in model. Walk-in tubs help prevent slipping with air-tight doors (users do not have to lift their feet over the edge), handles, and non-slip surfaces.
You’re Going To Sell Your Home
Remodeling your bathroom and/or making improvements (including tub resurfacing or working with bathtub installers) is a sound investment. U.S. News reveals that bathroom home improvement projects have one of the highest return on investment (ROI) rates, at 62% to 78%! If you eventually plan to sell your home, it will make the process much easier for you.
Your Tub Looks A Little Worse For Wear
Let’s face it. Seemingly insignificant wear and tear can get much worse over the years, little problems become big problems, etc. Although some quality showers and bathtubs last 50 years, some have a much shorter lifetime. If your tub is noticeably worn, chipped, discolored, stained, damaged, or scratched, it may be time to consider your options, such as replacing or reglazing. Without repairs, tubs may collect dirt, germs, and more. Replacing a bathtub can help keep bathrooms clean; it can also prevent leaks, drips, and structural damage.
Bathroom remodeling projects are the most popular remodeling projects in the U.S. — and with good reason. Bathroom renovations can help Americans age in place, increase the value of their homes, or even repair serious damage. To see more, read this.
