When it comes to home remodels, there are plenty of projects you can do yourself. The DIY movement is chock-full of fresh ideas, inspirations and nifty repair and replacement resources. In the name of DIY remodeling, however, there remains one project best left to the experts.
The bathroom. We appreciate the DIY drive as much as anyone, but we’re here for a reason and we’ll tell you why.
It’s not that DIY bathrooms are impossible—it’s that the bathroom remodel process is exactly that—a process. A successful bathroom remodel needs the latest tools, techniques, education and trained professionals to ensure a lasting upgrade.
Read on to learn why your bathroom remodel needs a professional plumber.
DIY Bathrooms
DIY bathrooms and different from other DIY projects. Bathrooms have showers, tiles, toilets, sinks, and a precise system connecting them all. We’d love for you to avoid a flooded bathroom on your DIY journey.
By nature, doing-it-yourself is great for projects you can do at your leisure and one at a time. They’re innately experimental.
A bathroom or shower renovation DIY, however, has co-operative parts including water, ventilation, electrical and flooring. Depending on your situation, it can even be more time-sensitive than you know. Simply, it’s complex.
We get it. The draw to DIY is motivated by one of two things.
- Saving money
- Enjoying the process
The truth is that we also want to save you money! We know the value of working smart, to do the best job for the best price. While DIY bathrooms can save you some money, the likelihood of needing a professional plumber in the near future remains inevitable.
If you fall into the second camp and genuinely love DIY remodeling, we promise you can still enjoy the process by hiring qualified contractors. In fact, we can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy it even more!
