How to Choose a Contractor for the Perfect Bathroom Remodel

Research

When you’re researching potential contractors for your bathroom makeover, check out their website. A contractor’s website should have plenty of information and an extensive project portfolio. If they don’t have a site, or it’s incomplete and confusing, it may be a sign of poor quality work.

You should also look at their social media accounts. Contractors often use social media to show off projects they’ve worked on and highlight their skill set. If you see someone who has hundreds of photos on Instagram but no experience in bathroom remodeling, go with another contractor.



Look for reviews from previous customers as well. If people are speaking positively about your potential contractor, chances are everything will go smoothly.

Get a Written Estimate

You want a detailed estimate with all the work that will be done and all costs spelled out. Make sure the total includes everything, from the materials to labor costs. If there’s anything left out, ask about it before you think the price is set in stone.

Keep in mind that an estimate is not a fixed rate. The price of your bathroom renovation can change as time passes and material prices fluctuate.

However, you can use the estimate to compare prices and find a contractor that meets your budget. If you know exactly what you want to be done, make a list of your specifications before meeting with contractors. This will help them come up with an estimate that’s accurate.

Scheduling

The timing of your project is a critical factor. If you’re working with a contractor, they will have to match their schedule with yours. You might be able to start renovations immediately, but if there are other projects in progress, your bathroom makeover can take longer than expected.

Find out how long your contractor expects the project to take. If you have a busy schedule and want it done as quickly as possible, be sure to share that with your contractor.
