Have you been on the fence about whether or not to remodel your master bathroom and wondering about the value it will really add? Then, you’ve come to the right place because taking on a remodel project does require a certain amount of investment — and patience when you’re a homeowner.
How much value does an updated master bathroom add?
On average, according to RenoFi Renovation Index, you can expect to gain something like $13,688 (64% of the project’s cost) for a mid-range remodel and $37,995 for an upscale remodel (56.6% of the project’s cost). Given the fact that you’ll also be able to enjoy your master bathroom remodel on a daily basis as long as you stay in your home, that’s a pretty decent return. If your overall home supports it, often those upscale or luxurious upgrades will provide you with a nicer return. For example, spending a little bit more on lighting fixtures is an easy way to take a bathroom from ho-hum to absolutely dreamy.
Install a Double Vanity
Another way to really add a punch to your master bathroom remodel is to replace a single vanity with a double sink vanity. Couples may be used to sharing a sink, but that doesn’t mean that’s what they desire. Vanities can be easy to change since they don’t typically require structural changes. You may need a licensed plumber and want a reputable home model contractor to do the work but this is still a less costly expense than reconfiguring the entire layout of your bathroom.
Upgrade the flooring
Flooring is another fantastic way to see that ROI (return on investment) because a modern flooring option can transform an ordinary bathroom into a spa-like space. A full master bathroom remodel can potentially be the selling point for your entire house. Let’s face it, we spend a lot of time in our bathrooms, and when given the option, most of us will buy a house with a gorgeous master bathroom that we don’t have to remodel ourselves!
Add a linen closet
Another way you can add significant resale value when doing a master bathroom remodel is by adding a linen closet. People want storage in their bathrooms, for towels, toilet paper, toiletries, etc and those items take up significant room in bedroom closets so it’s always ideal to have those things within easy reach.
Regardless of how much you do within your remodel project for your master bathroom in St. Charles, IL it’s important to research those features that you can enjoy yourself, as well as upgrades your potential buyers are most likely to put importance on. For example, if you know you will be selling your home in the near future, talk to your contractor on the trends they’re seeing so you know what is likely to be popular, or even expected, from buyers. When done wisely, a master bathroom remodel can absolutely add significant value to your home!
