A bathroom remodel can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. The size of the remodel will dictate the timeline.

Although the smallest room in the house, the bathroom can be a lengthy renovation due to the different trades involved that all require their own inspections. Electricians, carpenters, plumbers, tile setters, drywallers, painters etc…

Each task and trade can take a few days and then you have to account for inspections from your local inspector (some take longer than others). Also take into account that most contractors do not have in house electricians and plumbers on their payroll so there most likely will be schedule conflicts as well.

The process: Demo, framing, rough plumbing then inspection, rough electrical then inspection, framing inspection, insulation inspection, drywall/plaster, tub/shower/tile, painting, vanity install, mirrors and accessories, final plumbing, final electrical, then 3 final inspections.

Hiring a Bathroom remodeler!

When hiring, focus less on a start date and more on the deadline. This will make the project go much smoother in my experience by adding accountability. Ask about subcontractors and who will be in your home and how long they have been working together. Make sure to express any concerns you may have! For example, if dust is a problem for you and your family or you’re worried about someone letting the dog out by accident or your floors were just re-done and you want to make sure they are protected. These small things often get overlooked but are the most important. Bottom line is to find someone you can trust and get a long with. Any renovation can be a great experience if you choose the right people. Hire the person that’s a better listener than talker. Your wants and needs should be their main concern!
