Questions to Ask a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A checklist for comparing bathroom remodelers — and the answers that should make you comfortable or cautious.
Key takeaways
- Get a written package quote with the full scope of work — not a single lump sum.
- Ask how hidden conditions and changes in scope are priced and approved.
- Ask which waterproofing system will be used and what the warranty covers.
The short answer
Ask about pricing, scope changes, waterproofing, schedule, who does the work, insurance and warranty. A good contractor answers clearly and puts the answers in writing.
Pricing and scope
- Will I get a written package quote with the full scope of work?
- What exactly is included — demolition, haul-away, fixtures, paint, cleanup?
- How are hidden conditions handled if you find damage behind the walls?
- How are changes priced and approved before work goes ahead?
The work itself
- Which waterproofing system will you use in the shower?
- Who manages the project day to day, and who do I call with questions?
- Are licensed trades used for plumbing and electrical where required?
- How do you protect floors and the rest of the home, and how is cleanup handled?
Schedule, permits and protection
- When do selections need to be final, and when will materials arrive?
- Does any part of the work require permits or inspections where I live?
- Can I see a certificate of insurance?
- What warranty do you provide on workmanship, and what do manufacturer warranties cover?
