Dear Hammer Head:
I am thinking about remodeling my master bathroom and I am overwhelmed. I have a small budget. Will I get a decent return on my investment? What projects should I consider?

Dear Confused:
There are several things you can do within a small budget. Most bathroom remodels have a 98% or higher rate of return on investment. If you have large full wall mirrors, you can remove them and install newer framed mirrors. You can upgrade your shower to a European heavy glass shower door for around $600. Another inexpensive option is to change out dated hardware to a newer finish. There are many flooring options that are textured, with neutral color choices that are timeless. Counter tops are a quick and easy upgrade. There are many natural and recycled options available. If you are planning to resell, creating a clean, crisp spa-like feeling in your master bath appeals to a broader range of buyers. Many of our member contractors and associates can help you make this happen.
