Have a detailed inspection of your bathroom done before you start.<\/strong> It is a good idea to have a plumber inspect your current bathroom for leaks and other problems. Remodeling time is a good time to fix any leaks and update the fixtures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Pay attention to energy efficiency.<\/strong> Chances are you will be able to save money in the long run by installing low flow toilets, water saving showerheads and other energy efficient fixtures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Sketch out your proposed bathroom design.<\/strong> It is important to plan carefully for what you will do with the space. If you want a larger bathtub, or even a whirlpool, be sure to sketch it out and make sure you have enough space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
