Home Remodeling Cost - Simple Tips To Save On Home Remodeling Cost
After awhile, even a minimal home remodeling cost or two can start to add up to more money than you intended to spend on a project. From purchasing the materials to having to buy more of them when you mess up, any task can run over budget. I'm reminded of the time that I tried to remodel my bathroom myself, starting with the toilet. The toilet I bought cost around $200, and when I bought the caulking and tools I needed it ended up costing around $275. When I went to replace the old toilet with the new one, however, my hands were wet and I dropped the new toilet. It was cracked beyond repair, and I had already tossed out my old one. I had to start all over again and it would have been far cheaper to just hire a plumber to do all of the work ...

Increasing the size of a bathroom as a strategy in remodeling is rarely an option. While there may be ways to do that, it would usually require a major investment on your part. Trying to move a wall requires determining if it is a part of the structure that is required for load bearing. The placement, age and condition of the plumbing is another potentially costly factor. So to keep costs reasonable it is best to look at your bath as it is and try to improve the perception of space rather than actually increasing the space.
Hiring A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Busy, busy, busy, that is how you have to describe the people of the new millennium. People seem to have less time for things around the house.

Traffic and distance makes commuting to work last much longer. There is actually less time for yourself and your family.

Outdated wall coverings such as wall paper and borders are one of the first things to change during a home and bath remodeling job. With the use of a heating gun, the glue used to secure wallpaper on a wall can be easily removed. The homeowner might choose to paint the walls instead of repapering the wall, and if there is any type of mar in the wall surface, spackling will need to be done to give the wall a smooth surface.

More Homeowners Choosing 'Retro Renovations' -- New Weblog Caters Exclusively to Increasing Number of Mid-century Remodels
Lenox, MA (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 -- For decades many homeowners have been ripping out their postwar 40s, 50s and 60s decor in disgust. Now though, interest is reigniting in restoring these homes in retro style, true to their mid century roots. To serve this fast-growing trend, one design enthusiast has launched a new weblog, RetroRenovation.com (http://www.retrorenovation.com).
"The time is now for homes built in the 40s, 50s and 60s, especially for the millions of affordable houses designed for the booming middle class," says Pam Kueber, creator of the blog. "A new generation of homebuyers is rediscovering their charms. There was a wonderful spirit of adventure, style and love of life in these homes that, 50 years later, is much easier to see and want to celebrate."
Kueber and her husband David Fisher spent the past six years remodeling their 1951 'colonial ranch' house in Massachusetts. "The original plastic-tiled bathrooms were falling apart, and the circa-1975 kitchen desperately needed a makeover." Their goal, she said, was to remake the rooms in a style compatible with the overall, mid-century feel of the rest of the house tapping both vintage and new products available. "The kitchen, in particular, turned out great," she said. "It features 1963 aquamarine Geneva steel kitchen cabinets, which we removed from a cooking school. But we also were able to find new materials, like laminate countertops and the right style of flooring, to fit the look. It was an epic search, but it was definitely worth it."
Kueber turned her growing interest and knowledge into RetroRenovation.com, the blog that she shares with other retro-minded homeowners. Already loaded with more than 100 posts, the site is updated every day with retro kitchen and bathroom styling tips, sources for wallpaper, countertop materials, flooring, lighting and furniture, and cultural inspiration from advertising, books and exhibits. It also features her online auction "pick of the day," usually mint-in-box items that can be plopped right into a retro renovation as if they were always there. She also plans to start featuring other homeowners' retro renovation success stories.
A new line of 'atomic wallpaper' just introduced last month by Bradbury & Bradbury is one of the products that will be spotlighted this week. Long known for its art wallpapers for Victorian and Arts & Crafts homes, the company has recognized that there is now a growing market in mid century retro renovations.
"Many Arts & Crafts homes have been restored, appreciation -- and prices -- for prime bungalows have risen sharply, and now, at least I believe, people are looking for more affordable homes to restore," says Stephen J. Bauer, artistic director and owner of Bradbury & Bradbury. "There is this huge inventory of post-WWII homes that still seem relatively 'undiscovered' and full of charm and architectural features unique to those particular decades."
"Today, the resources to do a retro renovation are still limited, but they are growing fast, because the interest is there," Kueber says. "So many of these homes are jewels, they just need a little polishing."
Facts about postwar homes built from 1945-1960:
- 20 million new homes were built during the baby boom years - most of them in the suburbs, and many with the help of the GI Bill.
- While many people associate ranch homes with this period, Colonial and Cape styles also were very popular, and split levels started to appear. Most often, homes were a mix and match of styles both inside and out.
- Postwar homes were typically just 1,100-1,700 s.f. in size. While small by today's standards, their more compact footprint is also more 'green,' taking less fuel to heat, less material to renovate, and even fewer chemicals to clean!
