The exciting part of the remodel is of course choosing paint colors, decorative items, and other style elements. But the bathroom is a very busy, and moist room. So you want to think ahead and choose proper materials, and a functional design.

If your bathroom looks stunning, that’s great. But what’s not great is having a hard time moving around in it, cleaning it, and having no room for storage. So make sure you don’t overlook functionality when planning out your bathroom remodel.
Stick To Materials That Are Meant For The Bathroom
We will only use, and recommend materials that are sufficient for high moisture environments. This way you won’t run into mold or mildew problems that are unsightly but can also cause health issues.
Another important factor to keeping your bathroom mold and mildew free is proper ventilation. If you’re making your bathroom larger, this also means you may need to enhance the ventilation.
