Improve its function with bathroom remodeling.

Five Reasons Your Hingham Home Addition Should Include a Bathroom Remodel

July 7, 20160

If you have outgrown your home and want to add square footage, your Hingham home improvement contractor will probably amaze you by explaining all the options you have. You can:

  • Build up, build out or even tunnel down
  • Incorporate a sun room and/or a dormer addition
  • Spruce up your kitchen
  • Enlarge your master bedroom
  • Build a dedicated playroom for your kids

Regardless of the direction your Hingham home addition takes, here are five compelling reasons you should also have your contractor remodel your bathrooms as part of the project.

1. Add Stylistic Updates to Modernize Your Bathroom

Did you inherit a bathroom with dirt-brown tile you can’t stand? Worse yet, is your bathroom carpeted? Are you tired of your Formica counter tops or avocado-green toilet? If you’re undergoing a home addition, that’s the ideal time to remedy an ugly bathroom. You will have contractors working in your home anyway so why not banish the ugly bathroom?

2. Make the Layout of Your Bathroom More Functional

If you’re adding on to your home, you’re taking a major step toward making your home work better for you and your family. Do the same with your bathrooms. If multiple people use one bathroom, consider walling in the toilet so one person can use it and close the door while others bathe, dress or use the sink.

3. Install a Spa-Like Walk-in Shower

If one or more of your home’s bathrooms include bathtubs that are never used, a knowledgeable contractor for bathroom remodeling in MA will be able to replace an unused tub with a nice walk-in shower. Most people shower daily or every other day (many people shower twice a day). If you use your shower often, why not make it larger, more functional and more enjoyable? From incorporating bench seats to multiple shower heads to beautiful fixtures and back splash and more, you can design the shower of your dreams!

4. Add a Soaking Tub

If your idea of relaxation is luxuriating in a scented bubble bath, but your tub is old, discolored and uninviting, a bathroom remodel is an ideal time to upgrade your tub. Many home addition contractors in MA report an increased demand for tubs that are positioned in the center of the bathroom and surrounded by intricate tile or beautiful marble or granite. This approach elevates the tub from a utilitarian object to a focal point of the room.

5. Make Your Bathroom High Tech

Bathrooms and gadgets don’t sound like a match made in heaven. That’s changing. Now you can purchase things like these:

  • Water-resistant sound systems
  • Electronic shower systems that allow you to change water temperature and pressure with a touch of a button
  • Gadgets to alert you of a leaky toilet or faucet
