Our Top 10 Luxury Bathroom Features
We consulted with our design team to compile a list of their top ten luxury bathroom features...
Imagine starting your day in a space perfectly tailored to your preferences! The layout and features of your bathroom are integral to your daily routine. Double vanities for you and your partner, extra storage above and below the countertop, and heated floors for cold winter mornings. As a Custom Builder in Greenville, SC, we work with you to create a perfect spa-like experience in your bathroom.
Our Process begins with an Initial Consultation where we discuss your budget and goals for the bathroom remodel. Do you want to remove your garden tub? Expand your shower? Add custom shower niches or a heated floor? Understanding your priorities helps us solve your pain points with the space. If you feel we are a good fit, we will move forward with our Professional Services Agreement. This agreement allows us to plan your bathroom renovation and give you an accurate budget before you sign a Construction Agreement!
Before you start your bathroom remodel, think through your “why.” What problems are you trying to solve? Do you want the room to be brighter? Are you planning to remove a wall or garden tub? Do you want luxury features like a steam shower or heated floor? Knowing your reasons for the remodel will help to keep your priorities in place throughout the process.
The answer depends on your goals. If you want a simple refresh – painting the existing cabinets, switching out light fixtures, and getting new countertops, $5,000 might cover those costs. However, if you want to modify the bathroom layout, add cabinet storage, tile your shower, etc., you should plan to invest a more significant amount.
You should plan to invest between $60,000 and $80,000+ in a bathroom remodel. Your investment will depend on the size of the bathroom (hall bath or primary bath?), layout changes (i.e. moving the shower), and the materials you choose during the selection process. For more information, read our blog about the “Cost of a bathroom remodel in Greenville, SC.” As a Fixed-Price contractor, we provide you with a lump-sum budget upfront that will not change without your approval.
The construction time required to complete a bathroom remodel will often range between 2 and 5 months. Of course, this also depends on the square footage of the space and if the layout is undergoing significant changes.
Greenville County requires a permit if the bathroom remodel is over $5,000 or involves the foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC. Essentially, if you plan to make any significant changes, you will need a permit. If you work with Ferguson Builders, your Production Manager will handle all permit paperwork and inspections.
If you have the time and technical skills, going DIY can save you money on your bathroom remodel. However, if you are not experienced in residential construction, a professional can save you from costly mistakes in the long run.
Hire a Fixed-Cost contractor who can give you a comprehensive budget before you sign a construction contract. Read the contract carefully and ensure there are no hidden clauses. This budgeted amount should not change without your approval. Then, clearly communicate your budget to your builder throughout the planning process.
Keep the layout – don’t move the shower, or take out the tub. Layout changes require significant plumbing and electrical work. Repaint your existing cabinetry or go semi-custom instead of fully custom. When making selections, pay closer attention to the prices of materials like tile. New countertops, tile, and updated hardware/fixtures are often enough to give you the fresh look you are wanting.
