Bathroom Remodel Consulting
Know what to ask before you sign.

Plan what you want contractors to price

A tub-to-shower conversion, a full bathroom renovation and a tile refresh each call for different decisions. Talk through what you want to keep, what you want to change and what information contractors need to price the same job.

Look closely at the shower scope

A line item that says “replace shower” can leave a lot open. If the proposal leaves out a detail, ask the contractor to spell it out in writing before you compare totals.

• Who handles demolition, disposal and any repairs found after opening the wall?
• What shower waterproofing and tile preparation are included?
• Are the drain, valve, trim and glass enclosure included or priced separately?
• Which materials have allowances, and how are overages and changes approved?

Send your project details for review

The Homeowner Remodel Review starts at $150 for one room or trade. Send Russell your plans, photos or an existing proposal after he confirms the scope and turnaround. He’ll look through the information and follow up with feedback and questions to ask.
