The Benefits of Renovating your Kitchen and Bathroom Simultaneously

While certainly rewarding, both kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations can be big intimidating projects. Each will certainly impact your daily life and can make a significant dent in your bank account. Still, though, home improvement projects such as these can be some of the most fun aspects of homeownership.

At Emkor Construction, our passionate contractors have tackled countless kitchen and bathroom renovations and have a wealth of knowledge to draw from. While many homeowners only want to tackle one project at a time, there is a case to be made for doing both a bathroom and kitchen renovation simultaneously. If both of these projects are on your radar, continue reading to learn why doing them at the same time may actually be to your advantage.

Simultaneous Construction Saves Time…

While perhaps counterintuitive, doing both a bathroom renovation and a kitchen renovation simultaneously could actually save you a lot of time. Both remodels will interrupt your normal routine, but doing them together will eliminate some excess inconvenience if each project were to be handled individually.

Kitchens and bathrooms have a lot in common, and experienced contractors can double dip to work in the most efficient way possible. There can often be overlap in cabinetry, tiling, and plumbing and by streamlining certain aspects of both projects you can have contractors in and out of your house much more efficiently than if you were to start and stop both of your big projects separately.

…and money

Just as tackling both a kitchen and bathroom remodel together can save you time in the long run, it can also save you money. In general, it is not uncommon for contractors to charge a premium for smaller projects such as a bathroom. While the project itself is small, the work needed to gather a crew and order supplies still takes time. By bundling something smaller like a bathroom with a bigger undertaking such as a kitchen, you will likely get a much better deal overall. Not only will you be able to save on material costs by buying in bulk, but you are giving a contractor that much more business which, in turn, may result in better bargaining power on your end.

Achieve a Better Overall Design

While kitchens and bathrooms serve very different purposes, it can be nice to have a similar design in each to increase the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. If you tackle kitchen and bathroom renovations together, it will be that much easier to create a uniform design between the two. Subtle similarities between rooms in your home (such as matching cabinetry, tiling, countertops, or hardware) will give your home a warmer and more attractive feel. Visitors may not even notice some of these similarities with their eyes, but they will feel the fluidity between rooms.

Starting a bathroom or kitchen renovation can be intimidating, and the thought of tackling both at the same time is even more daunting. While perhaps counterintuitive, there is actually a lot of value in doing both projects simultaneously. If one, or both, are on your radar give Emkor Construction a call today.
