The Homeowner’s Handy Bathroom Renovation Checklist

To ensure the success of your bathroom remodeling project, you need to choose the right contractor and materials and set a realistic budget. Stay on track with this checklist from a trusted remodeler.

Start Planning

Create a list of features you need in your home and another of features you want. Doing so will help you set your priorities. Going through home improvement magazines and websites can help you figure out what you want and need in your new bathroom. You can even create your own board on Pinterest, which you can show and discuss with your remodeler.

Set a Budget & Timeline

Getting at least three estimates from different remodeling contractors will give you an idea of how much your project will cost. To get the most accurate quote, be honest about what’s possible. Timing is also important when it comes to home remodels. For instance, you shouldn’t schedule your project at a time when you’re expecting guests.

Hire a Contractor

Ask your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues for names of bathroom contractors they recommend. You can also go online and look for contractors within your area. Once you have a list of potential contractors, do your research, read reviews and ask for referrals. When hiring a contractor, don’t forget to ask about the payment terms and schedule.

Prepare for Your Project

Before the construction begins, make sure you have cleared out medicine cabinets and bathroom closets. Choose a room that will not be affected by the remodel where you can place all the things you’ll need for the duration of the project.

Keep Track of Your Remodel’s Progress

Don’t hesitate to tell your contractor about any concerns you may have. Open communication is essential to the success of your project. Your contractor should know where to place materials and how they can get into your home when you’re not around. Also, make sure your kids and pets stay away from the job site.
