Remodeling your bathroom is the one room in your house that will most likely affect your quality of life. Whether the decision is to add a new bathroom, or just make updates, by remodeling your bathroom you can add more to the value of your home than almost any other remodeling project.
Bathrooms are used daily by every member of the family so they are subject to a lot of wear and tear. A hundred years ago, a single bathroom in a home was unusual. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for a three-bedroom home to have no fewer than two bathrooms. Generally, homebuyers expect to find a bathroom adjoining the master bedroom, a common bathroom, and a half bath with just a toilet and sink near the kitchen.
With good space planning, you can reconfigure an existing bathroom layout to maximize functionality and take advantage of every square inch of space. Options for remodeling range from simple, cosmetic updates such as new paint and tile, to a complete reconfiguration of fixtures and cabinetry. A relatively modest investment in your bathroom can yield not only a more functional space, but also financial benefits if you choose to sell.

The eastern end of North Carolina juts out from the East Coast of the United States into the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, making the state prone to Atlantic hurricanes, which tend to strike the state every three to four years. Running along the entire coast of North Carolina, serving as a buffer against the Atlantic, is a long chain of barrier islands (the Outer Banks), with constantly shifting sand dunes, from which project three famous capes—Hatteras, Lookout, and Fear. Between the islands and the shoreline stretch lagoons—Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound are the largest—that receive the Chowan, Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, and Cape Fear rivers. Wilmington, the chief port, is at the head of the Cape Fear estuary. The mainland bordering the sounds is low, flat tidewater country, often swampy, even beyond the Dismal Swamp in the north. In the upper coastal plain the land rises gradually from the tidewater, reaching 500 ft (152 m) at the fall line.
