Absolutely. Even if we are not complete with the job our team of contractors will tidy up until we return for work.  When our job is complete, there will be no trace of construction, guaranteed.

Typically yes however the scope of the project will determine the length of time for completion. If we are gutting and remodeling your only bathroom, it may be necessary to stay with relatives or at a hotel until completed. As we have completed jobs in under one day, a job that requires a demolition may take several days. We know the stress and inconvenience a non-functioning bathroom or kitchen can have and this is why Sonnenburg Builders strives to work efficiently as possible while still maintaining high quality craftsmanship.

Many people wrestle with this question when going from a shower/tub combo to just a walk-in shower with no tub. Their main concern is how going from a full bath to a 3/4 bath will affect resale value.

The answer to this question depends on a couple different factors. If you’re planning to stay in your home for more than five years and could count on one hand how many times you’ve used the bathtub vs. taking a shower, then you should remodel your bathroom to fit your lifestyle, not for an unknown future buyer.

It’s too difficult to predict trends in the housing market, and certainly impossible to guess what specific future buyers will want. If you’re planning to stay in your home for the long term, you shouldn’t limit your plans based on uncertain future market trends.

If you’re remodeling to help facilitate a sale or to flip an investment property, you should make sure there is at least one bathtub available in the home, even if it is not in the master bath.

Safety is the number one reason to install a walk-in shower for seniors or someone who is disabled. A walk-in shower allows seniors and the disabled to maintain their independence and privacy while aging in place in the comfort of home.

Finally, remodeling a bathroom to include accessible features is much less expensive, and far less stressful, than moving into an assisted living facility or nursing home.

Unless you are remodeling to facilitate a quick sale or to flip an investment property, the most important thing to consider is how you, not a potential future buyer, will use your bathroom. It’s difficult enough to predict the housing market. It’s impossible to predict what specific features a future buyer will value most.

When you eventually sell your home, it is very likely the homeowners will remodel the bathroom to suit their tastes, anyhow.

Especially when you are adding accessibility features for seniors and the disabled, safety is paramount. If those safety plans don’t include a bathtub, don’t add one.
