You visit the bathroom multiple times a day, but chances are you don’t give it much thought. Homeowners often take the bathroom for granted, consigning it to a contradictory, difficult-to-define role in modern homes. On the one hand, though the bathroom is vital to everyday health and happiness, its importance isn’t necessarily reflected in its square footage—a frustrating limitation that many homeowners confront all too often. As well, while the bathroom exists primarily for hygienic purposes, homeowners often see it as much more than a place to shower and shave. Nowadays, the bathroom can serve as a sort of refuge—a private place to relax away from the stresses of the world. Yet, although the bathroom really matters, homeowners rarely give it the thoughtful consideration they lavish on other rooms. Why? Homeowners hesitate to remodel their bathrooms at least in part because “there are so many misconceptions,” according to Joe Maykut, a product manager with Sears Home Services. Assuming the worst—high costs and huge hassles—homeowners commonly go for years with a bathroom that fails to meet their needs. Certainly, you can spend a small fortune on a months-long bathroom renovation, but as Maykut notes, “It’s well worth exploring all the options available.” Working closely with experienced professionals, whether a local outfit or a national service provider like Sears, it’s not only possible but actually easier than you ever thought to devise a renovation strategy that fits with your budget and schedule.
