Tips for Planning Your Bathroom Remodel

Tips for Planning Your Bathroom Remodel

Whether you’re making a few minor alterations for a style upgrade or tackling a major bathroom remodel to increase the value of your St. Petersburg or Tampa home, there are several things to consider before your contractor gets to work. These are our essential tips for planning your bathroom remodel for the best results.

Determine the Extent of the Project

The first tip for planning a bathroom remodel is to decide how much of a change is needed, typically within one of these categories:

  • Surface alterations: Covering and repairing fixtures and surfaces only
  • Complete gut: Stripping everything to bare floors and walls and installing new plumbing, wiring and fixtures
  • Layout revamp: Removing everything and moving plumbing, wiring and fixtures for a different layout
  • Total renovation: Gutting the bathroom, changing the structure to expand the size and installing plumbing, wiring and fixtures

Clarify Your Needs

An integral part of this bathroom remodeling guide is about clarifying your needs. When planning your bathroom remodel, think about the following crucial factors.

Layout

You may like the existing layout or choose to move some fixtures. Think about your daily routine and what works best for you and your family. For instance, if you have the space, consider a free-standing bathtub. For those without children in the house, a walk-in shower is a space-saving option. A master bathroom should offer efficient utilization of space and comfort. Two people should be able to use the space at a minimum, and it should include plenty of storage space.

Budget

Another bathroom remodel tip is to consider how much you want to spend. Consider that surface alterations could see you spend several thousand dollars, while major bathroom renovations could cost you five figures or more.

Storage

Assess your storage needs based on how many people your bathroom caters to and what types of items you need to store. You may need a built-in or precast shower niche to hold toiletries or a custom vanity to store extra towels and linens. Shelves, cabinets, towel rails and hooks can all be incorporated to provide additional storage space.

Usage

Who will use the bathroom and how many will be inside it at a time will determine the type and number of fixtures to install. A bathtub is essential for young children, so a tub/shower combo may be an option if you want a shower, too. If you’re remodeling your master bathroom, installing twin sinks or dual showerheads allows two to use the bathroom at a time. Guest bathrooms generally require the bare essentials, like a shower, sink and toilet. 

Style

The material you choose for your bathroom surfaces is one of your most significant style decisions. Natural stone lends an air of sophistication but can be pricey and challenging to maintain. Tiling offers several options and is easy to keep clean. 

Your master bathroom should be an extension of the master bedroom. A different style could create a jarring difference. Consider a classic or traditional style for simplistic bathrooms. 

A traditionally designed modern bathroom remains timeless, while a modern bathroom design incorporates bright colors with contrasting textures. An eclectic bathroom style has an assortment of dissimilar elements, and a rustic bathroom has the “bringing the outside inside” element.

They were very professional. Quoted us a time frame and they were exact on the time frame. The were very clean as they cleaned up every night. Any questions I had they were very helpful. Overall a great experience. We plan on using them again if we decide to redo our bathrooms. The kitchen came out very nice and we are very happy with it.

This company is great. They did an awesome job on our remodel. The quality of work surpasses everything. All project hiccups were professionally handled and solutions came out better than planned. Jason Rossi and his lead foreman on our job Brian Smith are very professional. Brian provided a wealth of knowledge in regards to our entire first floor remodel project. Brian Smith is trustworthy and the quality of his work is impeccable. Job well done JRossi Construction!!

The work quality was outstanding, the crew friendly and a delight to work with, and they cleaned up after themselves and left the place in great shape! When I remodel my other unit, there is no doubt that Rossi Construction will be doing the work there also. I had an issue with the door quality of the cabinets and Rossi and his crew met with myself, and the Cabinet Representative immediately, and the issue was resolved to My Satisfaction. You can easily tell that Customer Satisfaction is what everyone in the organization is focused on. Great Job and thanks again, Ed.

Rossi just remodeled our hall bathroom and kitchen. They are incredibly skilled craftsmen who use the best products. We had two different men lead each project and they were both wonderfully skilled (cabinetry, tile, hardware installation, electric, plumbing, painting, etc.). They are honest, hardworking, on schedule, clean up after themselves, and fix problems. We highly recommend them.

Rossi Construction just finished renovating our veterinary hospital. The entire process from start to finish was flawless. Jason was the only contractor who looked at our space and was able to get a rough quote to us within 24 hours. Everything ran on schedule and within budget, and the final product was beautiful. Our project supervisor was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for construction work in the Tampa area.

The guys from Rossi do great work. We did a complete remodel of two levels of our house (we have a split level). The work included a full redesign of the master suite (took space from the bedroom to make a bigger bathroom and add a walk-in closet, also changed configuration of some windows), full redesign of main level (kitchen, living, and dining space) that included floating a sunken floor and removing walls to open the space, and cosmetic updates to the rest of the bedrooms (new doors, trim, paint, etc.). Only small issues were due to subcontractors, and Rossi made sure everything was brought up to expectation. We're super happy with the result and would not hesitate to use them on future projects.

I would highly recommend Rossi construction. Jason and his employees were very professional, very conscientious, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the project. If I emailed questions, they were promptly answered. I believe the pricing on the project was very fair. I am recommending them to all my friends. It was a great experience working with this contractor. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Overall, the remodel went quite well. The workmanship is very good.The crew was very punctual and professional. I found some minor issues that I pointed out to them, and they resolved them to our satisfaction. They could have done a better job with drop cloths in the hallways. There was a fair amount of joint compound that got tracked around on the carpet, and some of the dirt & debris got ground into the carpet. However, I consider this to be a minor issue, and would definitely consider using them again.
