Advising Bathroom Remodel Clients About Best Practices
A contractor typically comes across two types of homeowners when it comes to bathroom remodeling projects, those who want to go all out with the luxurious fixtures and those who prefer practicality over luxury. As a contractor it is your job to help guide the client to making the decisions that provide them not only with a result that meets their expectations, but that also improves their lives.
For this reason, following one preference over the other usually ends in buyer’s remorse instead of satisfaction. After all, what good is a beautiful, luxurious bathroom if it isn’t user-friendly?
To help ensure that your clients are happy with their bathroom remodel, taking a more balanced approach often makes the most sense. Here’s what to tell your bathroom remodeling clients about balancing luxury and practicality.
Balancing Cost and Function
You may have an occasional client to whom money isn’t a concern when it comes to planning their bathroom remodeling project, but by and large, just about every client you work with will want to save money wherever possible. The problem is with a luxury bathroom remodel, saving money usually isn’t realistic. Higher end fixtures just cost more, sometimes a lot more!
So, if your client is concerned about certain elements costing too much, or they are frequently asking about the project’s budget, then they may want to reconsider their dreams of having a luxury bathroom and instead focus on updating the bathroom, so it looks and works like new without breaking the bank.
Ask the right questions to ensure you and your client are on the right page. Some things to ask can include:
- Do you want more space or use the existing space?
- Do you want a tub, shower, or both?
- What are your storage needs?
Balancing Innovation and Modern Styling
The fixtures available for bathrooms these days are stunning. Many of the high-end products offer the pinnacle of innovation with futuristic features that may or may not be practical but that certainly look impressive.
In some cases, these fixtures may be a little too much for the financial or logistical needs of a client. There are still plenty of modern appliances and fixtures that bridge this gap that can transform the look and feel of a bathroom to effectively bring it into the 21st century, without it demolishing the budget or making the bathroom look like it should exist on a spaceship.
If this turns out to be a concern, ask the client what elements they definitely want to include and which ones they will be okay with swapping out to help protect their budget and make their bathroom easier to use.
Remember That the Bathroom is a Room That’s Used
Bathrooms are purpose-driven rooms. They are used frequently. As a result, a bathroom needs to do more than just look good. It also needs to work as intended.
We all understand how to use the basic functions in most bathrooms. But sometimes, when a client focuses solely on luxury, the simplicity can get lost and before they know it, they are constantly being forced to explain to their guests how to turn the faucet on.
Even in a home with multiple bathrooms, the client should expect every single one of their bathrooms to be used. So, this is something that needs to be factored in when coming up with a design that balances luxury and practicality.
