Bathroom Remodels – Our Processes
What To Expect Before Your Project Begins:
Pictures & Phone Consultation
The first step is to send us pictures of your project. This helps us to be able to see what you’re seeing so we know how to better help you! Then we’ll have a phone conversation, where we will have an open, honest discussion. We’ll discuss your project, pricing, and see if we’re a good fit for each other!
In Home Design Consultation
If you agree with the investment in your project and the work that will be done over the phone, this is a time to meet with you and any other decision makers to go over the project in person.
During this consultation we will ask for a pre-discussed design consultation fee dependent on the size of your project.
The design consultation fee will include 1-2 hours with our on staff designer, picking out materials, going over your layout options and discussing your style. We will measure your space and provide CAD drawings of your project that you can use for permitting whether you decide to move forward with us or not.
Once materials are selected, we will provide you with a written proposal. If you choose to move forward with us, the design consultation fee will be waived.
Get On The Schedule
Once you agree to all design options, we will need a 50% deposit to put you on our schedule. We will start ordering materials and begin the permitting process.
We will wait until your cabinets and other selections are in and we have them fully assembled. Then we will begin demo. This way, we typically can have your project complete in about 3-5 weeks, dependent on how complex the other parts of your project may be.
We’ll put together a production schedule so that you’ll know when we’re starting, how long the remodel will take, and when you’ll be able to enjoy your new dream space. You will get a reminder a few days before your project start date.
Construction Begins
Now that everything is all set, we’ll perform a pre-job walkthrough with you to ensure everybody is on the same page. Then, the transformation starts!
Completion Walk through
The final step is a final job walk through. We’ll go over your completed project together to ensure that you are happy with every detail, no matter how small!
What To Expect During Your Bathroom Remodel
A few days before your bathroom remodel begins, you will meet with our designer and general contractor to go over all of the details to make sure we are all on the same page.
1. We will cover your floors and any areas that could be damaged during the renovation process.
2. We will remove and dispose of your existing tile, backerboard, tile floors, tub, toilet, vanities, fixtures, mirrors, vanity lights and anything else pertinent to your project.
3. If you are moving plumbing, we will trench your concrete floors, update your plumbing, fill the hole with subterranean termite spray, cover the whole with visqueen as a vapor barrier and concrete to grade. If you are not moving plumbing, we will update our current plumbing and valves.
Note* treating for subterranean termites is necessary when breaking through your foundation ( learn more here )
4. We will frame out your walls, knee walls and curb to plumb and any selected niches or benches. We will Install pre-slope to shower and pan liner.
5. We will Install Hardie Board and seall all seams and screw holes with antimicrobial caulk to prevent water intrusion and help prevent mold growth.
6. We will roll on Hydroban waterproofing and antimicrobial sealer.
Note: Most of our competitors use Red-Gard which is not antimicrobial (does not help prevent mold growth)
7. We will install all wall tile, shower floor tile, tub surround tile, bathroom floor tile, decorative band tile, and decorative niches as per project specs. Once tile is complete, we can then template glass for your shower enclosure (Glass typically takes 2-3 weeks for template and install)
8. We will install vanities, toilets, tubs, baseboards, mirrors, vanity lights, toilet paper holders, towel bars and touch up drywall.
9. We will template and install Granite/Quartz countertops with undermount sinks. We will reconnect sinks and install fixtures. (This typically takes 7-10 business day for template and install)
10. We will install your glass enclosure, paint, and touch-up overall project. Of course you can communicate with us throughout the project, but at the end of the project, we will give you some blue tape and if there is anything you are not happy with, just mark it and we will make it right.
