If your home only has one bathroom, completing a bathroom remodel can be quite a challenge. Instead of letting the inconvenience get to you or stopping you from having the remodel done in the first place, check out these tips below to help you make the entire project more manageable for yourself and your family. 

Start by Hiring the Right Company 

Start by hiring the right company to do the job. If you hire the wrong company or inexperienced contractors, you may find that the project takes twice as long as you expected. You want to have a reputable company working on your bathroom remodel so that you can rest easy knowing that the job will be done correctly. While it may still take them a few weeks to get a full remodel done, you won’t have to worry about unnecessary hiccups along the way. 

Know When the Time is Right 

There is a right and wrong time to have your bathroom remodeled and it is important that you know the difference in timing for you. You should not choose to do a remodel when you know that you and your family will be home all the time. For example, during a winter break. If you know that you will be away over the summer or for a week or two, you may want to work out with the remodeling company so that they complete the project during this time. 

Communicate with the Project Coordinator

Of course, you do not want to sit there and ask the project coordinator every two hours when the project will be done but it is reasonable to ask for an update at the end of each day or every couple of days. You can also ask to be informed about any changes, so you know if there will be a delay in your timeline. 

Have a Backup Plan 

You will be out of your bathroom for a little while as the bathroom is remodeled, so have a backup plan. Ask your friends and family or even neighbors if you can use their bathrooms every now and again to help with showers. 

Seek Out Alternative Options 

If you are just not sold on the idea of a bathroom remodel taking a couple of weeks knowing that you only have one bathroom, you may want to consider alternative options. For example, you can have your tub reglazed, which will take substantially less time, cost you less, and leave your tub looking like it is brand new.
