If you are remodeling your home with a view to selling the property, you will find a bathroom remodel one of the most sensible, high ROI investments. Buyers are usually willing to pay more for a Dallas, Texas area home with luxurious, fully out fitted bathrooms. A bathroom remodel can be as simple as changing the tiles, sink or tub or as extensive as adding a whole new bathroom. It's easy to get carried away while in the midst of a bathroom renovation, purely because of the sheer variety of fittings, fixtures and accessories out there. For instance, if you are only looking at a small bath tub remodeling project, you could easily find your budget sky rocketing as you fill your tiny space with the latest water massage system-incorporated tub. Always have a bath remodel plan before you hire a contractor.
Even if you can do without a tub in your bath you can't possibly neglect installing a shower. A bath shower remodel depends first and foremost on the space available to you. If you have a large bath, no restrictions apply, and you can quickly turn your shower into a personal spa. Choices in shower stalls in these days are extensive, and range from large 2 person stalls that eliminate the need for waiting for your turn, and spa-like stalls with a ledge to sit on. If you have a smaller sized bath, however, a stall may or may not be a viable option. Don't sacrifice functionality for looks -- if a stall won't fit into your bathroom, don't install one. Instead, choose a detachable shower or slide shower that allows you to shower in a small space. If your bath already includes a bath tub, a tub-shower combo is a perfect choice.
Almost all American homes have at least one bathroom that includes a tub. Your bath tub remodel will depend on the size of your bath. Although the basic 3-wall alcove tub is still the most popular and affordable choice, there are dozens of other different styles to choose from. A triangular tub that is installed in a corner with just one finished size visible is ideal for a smaller bathroom. Claw footed tubs or free standing tubs that are plunked in the middle of a bath, or anywhere else you desire. These tubs are made of light weight materials, but are finished to look like an antique tub. A whirlpool is installed as a drop in model, mounted in the platform. It can also be sunk to below flow level. The soothing hydro massage that a whirlpool tub offers elevates it from a mere tub to a spa facility.

I would like to convert a 2 car garage into a living room. This would include removing the garage door and adding a window and siding.
