So if you are ready to revamp your bathroom with fewer hiccups, hire a home contractor to help with these six remodeling projects.
Project #1: Installing a New Shower or Bathtub
Looking to update your shower or tub? If so, you might want to hire a professional contractor.
Why? Because installing a shower or tub requires you to have some plumbing knowledge, which contractors are well equipped with.
“A contractor will examine your bathroom and run the necessary plumbing to fit your shower or bathtub, which is highly recommended to prevent water damage,” says Graziano Tru, general manager for Deluxe Construction, a New York-based firm that specializes in both interior and exterior home remodels.
In fact, according to Tru, a contractor should have the experience to handle the following key procedures for installing a shower or tub:
- Taking measurements of the desired location
- Performing a plumbing assessment
- Waterproofing walls, ceilings, and floors
- Installing an exhaust fan
- Putting in ceramic tiles
Without a proper assessment by a contractor, improper installation could lead to leaks and permanent damage.
