When is the best time to renovate a bathroom in Wollongong?

If you’re looking at doing bathroom renovations in Wollongong, you may be asking yourself – when is the right time to do it? Committing to renovations can be a big step in any homeowner’s life.

So how do you time it just right?

Firstly, the flexibility of this timing will depend on the situation of the house. If it’s your own abode, you may be happy to live around the renovation work, particularly if there is a sufficiently large second bathroom on the premises.

For homes that you own but rent out, the situation can be a bit more precarious. Unless you have tenants who are truly understanding and will be happy to be inconvenienced (i.e. family and close friends), you may need to clear out the house entirely before sending in the builders.

Bathroom renovations for southern highlands homes, as with all homes, can be as protracted or as short as you’d like. If you require an entire bathroom refit, ‘short’ may still be in the order of a week or two, but at the same time, your other option – renovations that are attended to whenever the builder has a spare minute – while usually being less intrusive and easier to live around, could stretch on for months.

So the best time to renovate simply rests on whether you, or your tenants, can co-exist with builders. If you can’t, you, or they, will need to make arrangements to move out for as long as the work lasts

(ensuring that your renovations have been prioritised by the builder), and if you or they can, it’s more of a matter of figuring out a balance between levels of intrusion and length of job.

If a whole team of builders can happily wander in and knock over the bathroom reno in quick time, perfect. If there’s only enough room for one or two builders and they can only be in the premises when the occupant isn’t, prepare for a drawn-out and often bathroomless process.

At the end of the day, once you’ve figured out the intricacies of your situation, there’s just one simple answer to the question of when the best time to renovate is.

That answer is now.
