Quick Fixes to Update Your Guest Bathroom

Is your guest bathroom in need of an update? Whether it is a half, three-quarter or full bath, you want a nice room for those who visit or stay in your home. If you are planning to have guests to your home, there are some quick ways to improve the look and function of your extra bathroom. Here are some fast fixes to update your bathroom before your guests arrive.

Painting

A quick paint job can make your bathroom look like new again. Choose a trendy new color to bring an updated style to your guest bath, such as blue-greens, berry-inspired colors and black/white décor. Bathrooms are small, and painting can only take a few hours, making it a project you can do in less than a day.

New Accessories

If you change your wall color, you will want to buy new accessories for the new look. Choose matching towels, soap dispenser, garbage can and shower accessories to match your new color scheme. Add some guest soaps, shampoos and hygiene items to make your guests feel at home.

Replace Your Fixtures

You can make a big difference in the look of your bathroom by replacing the old faucet, shower fixtures, towel racks and mirrors. Finishes like oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel are popular in bathrooms over the old shiny silver fixtures. Your local plumber can install your sink and shower fixtures to ensure they will work correctly.

It does not take long to give your guest bath an update. For more extensive remodels like a new shower, tub or toilet, you will need to plan for more time and have a professional plumber for installing new plumbing. Improving your guest bathroom can enhance the beauty of your home and add value, while leaving a favorable impression on visitors to your home.

Detached Structures: What You Should Know About Remote Services

When you add a detached structure to your property there are a number of things to consider. Important items include zoning, permits, set-backs, electrical, HVAC and plumbing needs. In many instances you’ll be able to tie existing electric, water and sewage services into the new construction, but not always. Before you even draw up your plans, never mind break ground, you have some initial research to do. Trade contractors can generally assist in determining permit requirements, so get them involved with the process.

Once you’ve ascertained that you are allowed to do what you want to do and what limitations you have to deal with, you can get busy on your project. Unless construction is your trade you will be contracting for much of the work. Even if you are a skilled do-it-yourself type, situations will come up that require a professional and you’ll be glad that you have them to depend on.

When it comes to plumbing the new addition, a licensed and insured plumber will be able to help you every step of the way, from installing water supply lines, plumbing fixtures, and drain lines. Logistics of cost, material and installation are of paramount importance. Most potential trouble can be avoided before it even has a chance to happen. Ground conditions from sub-grade terrain and drainage to surface peculiarities are all things your plumber can assist with. Proper slopes and connections and integration with electrical service are things usually best dealt with professionally.
