Spring is one of the best times of year to tackle those home improvement projects, because of the great deals you can get on construction supplies in the spring. For example, just a few weeks ago Home Depot, a well known home improvement store, was running a nationwide sale on bathroom fixtures and appliances. But believe it or not, you can get even better deals on the things you need for a bathroom remodel or addition, by shopping through wholesale dealers. Great deals are easier to find than you might think.
So let’s say you are remodeling your master bathroom, in preparation for selling your home. Your goal is to create an updated look with new flooring, fixtures, paint and a vanity. Now, from a home improvement store sale, you might expect to pay between $150 and $200 for a small vanity and sink combo, which is a good price. But for the same price, you can get wholesale bathroom vanities that are larger, made out of nicer materials, and even have free shipping. Both places have a good price on bathroom vanities, but by buying a wholesale bathroom vanity, you get more for your money.
You’ll find the same thing is true for most bathroom fixtures. While you’ll pay the same price for the things you need at both home improvement store sales and wholesale bathroom websites, at the wholesale dealers you’ll get more bang for your buck. And this is true not just of wholesale bathroom vanities, but also of toilets, tubs, faucets, mirrors and accessories. So if your bathroom remodel budget is $2000, by shopping from wholesale dealers you have more options for your remodel, and you’ll be able to do a nicer remodel. And in many cases, the nicer the remodel, the more it increases your home’s value.
But before you start making major remodels with the money you’ll save, we need to add a small disclaimer. When doing a bathroom remodel or addition, it’s important to make sure that anything done with plumbing is done to code. If you know how to do that yourself, then no worries. But if you don’t, then it’s highly important to hire a plumber. A bathroom vanities, toilets, tubs and showers that are installed wrong and/or not to code can actually hurt the value of your home. So save money on fixtures, but keep in mind that some money is worth spending, like the money for a good plumber.
