Which Should You Do First?
When planning your renovations, you should consider three concepts: Cost, resale value, and convenience.
Cost
If the cost is something you are concerned with, going for the bathroom remodel would be more financially beneficial. Because the square footage is much smaller than a kitchen in most cases, it wouldn’t matter if you’re planning a lower budget or high-end remodeling. Heartwood Builders considers Seattle’s expensive water usage when renovating bathrooms. They will help you save money on your water bill by installing low-flow shower heads and water-efficient toilets!
Resale Value
If you’re considering putting your home up for sale, a kitchen remodel would have a higher return investment compared to a bathroom remodel.
Kitchens are where we spend a good portion of our time at home. Initially, this means potential buyers would be more drawn to a newly remodeled kitchen space. Depending on the size of your remodel, you can potentially gain back between 60-80% of what you put into your renovations. Our team at Heartwood Builders will work with you on what kind of style you want for your kitchen that can help put some of that money back in your pocket.
Convenience
Another important factor to consider when choosing whether to remodel your bathroom or kitchen first is which room would be less inconvenient for you to temporarily not have access to.
When considering a bathroom remodel, it’s a no-brainer to remodel this room first if you have another bathroom in your home. However, things become more complicated if that’s your only one. Contractors will usually reset your toilets so you can use them once they’re done working, although you won’t have access to them during their shift.
A kitchen remodel can be even more inconvenient regardless of how large your renovation is. When considering a kitchen remodel, it’s best to think of temporary options while the contractors are at work; this means picking the right time of year to start renovating.
