How long will the bathroom remodel take from start to finish?
For a small bathroom remodel, the project typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks from start to finish. However, for a more complex remodel—such as relocating fixtures or a toilet—it may take around 3 to 5 weeks. The exact timeline will depend on whether permits are required and the availability of the township to schedule necessary inspections. We’ll provide a more specific timeline during our initial consultation.
What type of materials do you recommend for durability and style in a bathroom?
We recommend materials that offer both durability and style, such as porcelain tiles for floors and walls, and quartz or granite for countertops. We provide catalogues from various brands for fixtures and paint samples, and we’ll guide you in making the best choices for your bathroom.
What is the estimated cost of a bathroom remodel, and are there different options to fit my budget?
