Making your dream bathroom a reality starts with developing a concrete plan of attack. Some of this development, especially the conceptual end, can be commenced by the homeowner. A professional bathroom designer like our local remodeling company can then take these concepts, refine them using our extensive design expertise, and then set out to do the actual work. 

Generally speaking, bathroom remodels are more difficult than kitchen remodels because of waterproofing issues and the need to work in confined spaces with sensitive components such as fixtures, water pipes, drain lines, and even electrical wiring. Even moving a fixture a few inches could necessitate reworking a good portion of the infrastructure. A professional company like Builder’s Warehouse in Peoria offers the expertise required to seamlessly manage such a complex project. We know how the building permit process works, and the structural changes (e.g. plumbing and electrical work) that could require a permit. Plus, we’ll schedule the requisite inspections in order to avoid headaches down the road.

A professional remodeling contractor is also an invaluable asset when it comes to ordering the right materials. It’s not as simple as flipping through a catalog and picking out your favorite bathtub design and local laminate flooring. Builder’s Warehouse will advise which materials to order, when they need to be ordered, and the quantity needed. Depending on your exact needs, we’ll either provide product samples that you can choose from or take you to a nearby supplier to see the actual product up close. Working directly with a contractor and designer like ours ensures a streamlined, error-free ordering process. 

The biggest, noisiest, dustiest part of a bathroom remodel is demolition. Depending on the size of the project, you might see the destruction of old fixtures and cabinetry, as well as drywall if there’s a need to expose the interior of the walls for new electrical and plumbing. Moreover, it’s certainly possible that entire walls will need to be removed, especially if we’re enlarging the size of the existing bathroom. 

Demolition is always messy and sometimes dangerous, and it should be approached with the care and planning skills of a professional. Plenty of potential hazards reside behind bathroom walls: water supply pipes, drain lines, electrical wiring, and HVAC ductwork. Taking a sledgehammer or power saw to a wall without knowing what’s behind it could lead to extensive damage. 

Remodeling a bathroom is sometimes challenging, occasionally inconvenient, but in the end supremely rewarding. From big issues such as bathtub installation and new plumbing to aesthetic concerns like flooring treatments and bathroom vanities near Peoria, Builders Warehouse is your trusted, experienced home improvement partner every step of the way.
