How To Save Thousands On a Bathroom Remodel

When I first moved into our home one of the things top on my bucket list were to redo the bathrooms.  The bathroom was outdated and definitely not our style.  The first bathroom to get remodeled was our guest bathroom.  We are almost finished with our master bathroom and I can’t wait to share with you all!  Both bathrooms have come a long ways.  Through this process we learned how to save thousands on a bathroom remodel.  We looked at ways we could cut costs and maintain our budget, here are the first areas we achieved that.

Steps to Save:

1. We price shopped our tile to multiple places we ended up choosing a wholesale flooring company the price difference was almost $500 and it was the same exact product
2. We kept our existing cabinets and painted them instead of replacing them
3. We negotiated with our tile installer by getting multiple bids.  It helped save us since we were on such a tight budget
4. We negotiated our countertops and found the most cost effective fabricators
5. We purchased our hardware from Amazon it was so much more affordable
6. We price shopped our faucets and sinks and it saved us about $300 from our original choices

The bathroom before the remodel had cherry cabinets with granite tile countertops.  The rest of the bathroom was extremely beige.  The floors, counters, and paint were all beige.  It really didn’t go with the rest of the style in our house so we decided to go with a cooler neutral color combination.  By taking the above steps we were able to stay on track and get our guest bathroom done within budget!
