Bathroom remodeling is incredibly popular, and most homeowners have seen the amazing effects these projects can have on the houses and condos of their neighbors, family members, and friends. This is great, because it gives people a good idea of the style they want when they decide it’s the right time to redo their own bathroom. But it can sometimes lead to problems when homeowners think they can make all the choices themselves instead of hiring an experienced New Jersey bathroom designer. This is your classic “pennywise, pound foolish” situation, as trying to remodel your bathroom without really knowing how will often end up costing you in the end. Don’t think so? Here are a few reasons why hiring a bathroom designer right at the start of your project is the right way to go:
REASON #1: AVOID SELECTING THE WRONG MATERIALS 
The biggest mistake you can make when remodeling your bathroom (or any room, for that matter) is to select the wrong materials for the job. This could be as simple as ordering the wrong sized vanity that doesn’t fit where you want it to go. But it could also be a more complicated issue that might not bare its teeth for a few years. For example, did you know that more porous tiles are a poor choice for a bath remodel because the dampness in the room will significantly decrease their life? And did you account for the fact that you have dogs and/or children? That can really change the type of materials you want to use if you’re looking keep your new bathroom looking great for a long time.
REASON #2: CUSTOMIZE FOR YOUR NEEDS 
If you’re going to remodel your bathroom, you might as well make it fit your specific needs. Maybe you want a pull-out hamper? This is a great feature for any bathroom, but you might not know to go with a 34 inch vanity for this, as opposed to the more standard 31 inch. Have you ever taken a shower in a bathroom where the shower head was too low? It can be pretty annoying, especially if it’s the shower you use every day. But an experienced designer will measure your height up front so your shower head is installed in exactly the right place. Plus, they’ll be able to recommend the most modern materials and trends that will keep your bathroom in style for the longest possible time.
REASON #3: IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY IN THE END 
Believe it or not, hiring an experienced New Jersey bathroom designer will actually save you money in the end (not to mention time and headaches). We already discussed how much it could cost you if you select the wrong materials for the job, but another risk of trying to be your own general contractor is that one mistake in ordering or scheduling will cost you an arm and a leg. Having all the materials ready at the start of the job and having it all scheduled out is a huge money saver! Plus, working with a bath designer will significantly cut down on those situations where you don’t realize you want or need something until halfway through the installation process, which is much more costly than if you’d known up front. And if you have an issue with a product that you ordered yourself six months down the line, it will now be YOUR responsibility as opposed to your designer’s.
