Why Remodel Your Bathroom?

Bathroom renovations offer one of the highest returns on investment for home improvement. Whether you're preparing to sell, want a more comfortable space, or just updating the style, the bathroom is a smart place to invest.

  • Boosts home value  
  • Improves functionality and energy efficiency  
  • Enhances comfort and design appeal

Do You Need a Permit in Montgomery County?

Tip: Appleton Properties LLC can assist you with any needed permits and ensure code compliance.

Cosmetic vs. Full Renovation

Cosmetic Upgrades:

  • Light fixtures and mirrors  
  • Paint, caulking, and updated hardware  
  • Vanity or faucet replacement  

Full Renovation:

  • Relocating plumbing or electrical  
  • New shower or bathtub installation  
  • Floor plan reconfiguration

Flooring & Tile Recommendations

Choose materials that are water-resistant, stylish, and durable:

  • Ceramic or porcelain tile  
  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)  
  • Slip-resistant finishes for safety

Pro tip: Match grout color to tile for a seamless, low-maintenance finish.

Choosing the Right Vanity, Sink & Storage

The right vanity transforms your bathroom's style and functionality. Consider floating designs for modern spaces or double sinks for busy households.

  • Wall-mounted floating vanities for a modern look  
  • Double sinks for shared bathrooms  
  • Built-in storage like drawer organizers or recessed shelves

Tub vs. Walk-In Shower

Walk-in showers are trending in Montgomery County for their modern appeal and accessibility. However, it’s smart to keep one bathtub for resale value.

  • Walk-In Shower: Sleek, accessible, easy to clean  
  • Bathtub: Great for families or relaxation-focused homeowners

Lighting Upgrades for Your Bathroom

Good lighting can make your bathroom look bigger and more luxurious.

  • Layer ambient, task, and accent lighting  
  • Add LED mirrors or backlit vanity lights  
  • Install dimmers for mood-setting and energy savings

Budgeting Tips

  • Get multiple quotes before starting  
  • Plan for 10–15% over budget for surprises
