Should You Replace Your Sink During Your Bathroom Remodel?

When homeowners start an extensive bathroom remodeling project, they usually concentrate on fixture replacements. Faucets, drawer hardware and other components become the focus of the project instead of main bathroom pieces. The sink seems to be a permanent addition to the bathroom, but it's a smart idea to replace it during a remodeling project for several reasons.

The Design Aspect

A Livonia MI bathroom project should update the space by several years. Homeowners should focus on:

Color
Style
Functionality

In fact, the main goal is to make the entire room appear current. That cannot happen if an old sink is flanked by a brand new granite countertop and stylish faucet. Ideally, homeowners should work with contractors to match a new sink with the rest of the bathroom's overall design. From modern to old-fashioned, each bathroom has a personality that must shine with a new sink.

A Plumbing Update

Completely redesigning the bathroom usually includes:

A new countertop
Updated faucets
Stylish mirrors

Homeowners must take this opportunity to also pull out the sink and evaluate the plumbing. Contractors should replace any leaking pipes or hoses leading to the sink, for example. Because the entire countertop is pulled off of the vanity, this is the best time to fix the plumbing and replace the sink. If a home is going to be sold soon after this update, brand new plumbing and the sleek sink will only increase a bidding competition.

Labor Charge Consideration

Common contractors' charges include:

Materials
Labor
Disposal fees

The contractors will already have the countertop removed during a remodeling process, so it's only natural to replace the sink at the same time. In fact, homeowners could see significant savings on the labor charges alone by combining all of these bathroom renovations into one project. Hiring contractors for multiple projects only increases the labor charges because they must travel to and from the property and remove the same components yet again. In the end, one complete bathroom project with new components makes financial and design sense

Preventing Future Repair Problems

Every household component ages and wears down over time, including the sink. If homeowners don't take advantage of a remodeling project and replace the sink, it could break down in the near future. Contractors would have to return to the property and charge more repair costs. It's even possible for the sink to malfunction and damage the surrounding new installation. Homeowners should look at the bigger picture when they decide to renovate their bathroom.Whether a bathroom remodeling project resides in New York City or Livonia MI, replacing the sink is almost always a necessity. Contractors can even visualize a new sink for the homeowners by showing them virtual graphics on their electronic devices or with basic samples brought to the home. Just a new sink alone can brighten a bathroom and bring it into the 21st century.Remake or remodel your bathroom and/or kitchen today with Kurtis Kitchen & Bath.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
