subject: Making Your Bathroom Remolding Easier [print this page] Months ago, I move into my new house, and after spending several weeks remodeling my home and installing a new free standing bathtub, I know the ins and outs of all things remodeling. I wanted to take some time to share my advice and opinions, specifically about where to get, not only the best deals, but the most helpful information.
1. Large Home Improvement Stores. While this would normally be most people's first choice, it's not necessarily always the best deal. While they are extremely helpful, if you can find someone to help you, I've found there to be many sources that offer the same products for cheaper. Take for example, the tiles for my
bathroom. I figured they would have the best selection and prices, but when I was unable to find the tile I wanted at a reasonable price, I ventured elsewhere. I found a small specialty shop near my home town, and was surprised to see the much-reduced cost of the same tiles.
2. Online sites. While we all know that there are tons of sites offering "the best prices" and the "best value," it's almost become unbelievable. How can all of these places offer the "best?" I was surprised to find though, when I was onto my bathroom phase, and looking for a tub, that I actually did find the best bathtubs store online that is ModernSpa. They just had a crazy number of options for style and price range, with another ten options for each of the specific tubs. It was so easy to find exactly what I was looking for (from the comfort of my own home, in my pajamas, mind you), that I couldn"t believe it. The bathroom was easily the best part of the job, because I found nearly everything I was looking for, with great customer service, and online.
3. Online Information. While I'm not an amateur to the internet, I am new to using it as solely a resource. Though, through my projects of home repair and remodeling, I've been able to find all of the help I need through ModernSpa on the web. It has saved me well much dollars in buying books, and hiring handymen to do simple jobs that I was easily able to do myself with the right resources. Before you get stressed out, buy ten books, and settle on a contractor to install that discount whirlpool bathtub, look around online stores. Type in your keywords, ask your questions, and most likely you'll be able to find a great source to help guide you through your remodeling.
4. Experience from others. Here I can write down my experience to share with you, in the same way you can also ask your friends to give you some useful suggestion.
These were the best sources I found through my experience, and I hope it can help others who are in the same situation. Try not to let yourself get overwhelmed, and think about your options before you settle with overpriced items, or ones you aren't fully satisfied with.
