No major remodel planned for either bathroom. Work is limited to countertop resurfacing in one bathroom. Both bathrooms are functional and in acceptable condition overall.
Wood countertop needs to be properly resurfaced and sealed. Wood in bathroom environments requires good sealing to prevent water damage. This is maintenance work, not replacement.
No work currently planned for this bathroom.
DIY potential: Wood countertop refinishing is very DIY-friendly. Requires sanding, staining (optional), and sealing. Main investment is time and proper ventilation for finishes.
Professional option: A refinisher or carpenter can do this quickly and may achieve a more durable finish. Reasonable for someone not comfortable with wood finishing.
This is a small, contained project. The wood countertop just needs proper care—it's maintenance, not renovation.
Timing flexibility is high. This can be done whenever convenient and doesn't need to coordinate with other work unless combining with a handyman visit for efficiency.
If the wood has significant water damage beneath the surface (soft spots, warping), refinishing may not be sufficient and replacement might be needed. Inspection during sanding will reveal this.
