The Scope of Your Bathroom Renovation Matters
You’ll first want to map out what kind of renovation you would like to see completed when it comes to transforming your bathroom. Are you just wanting to touch up some things here and there, or are you looking to truly transform your regular bathroom into your dream bathroom? Below is a breakdown of what you can expect when you choose between a minor bathroom renovation and a major bathroom renovation.
Minor Updates (1-2 weeks): Minor updates could consist of a new coat of paint on the walls, new wallpaper in your bathroom, or even replacing some sink fixtures or lighting fixtures. These updates should not take more than a few days to a couple of weeks to complete.
Full Renovation (4-6 weeks or more): If you’re looking to renovate your entire bathroom from floor to ceiling, this project may require anywhere from 1 – 3 months of work to fully complete; especially if there are custom elements involved which require special orders for materials, fixtures, paint, etc… While the wait time may be longer, it’s surely worth it!
Planning and Design: The Foundation of Success
If you’re having a full bathroom renovation process done, it may take anywhere from two to four weeks for this planning phase to be completed. This phase is the most important, as it sets out the framework for what is to be expected for both you as the homeowner, and us as the bathroom remodelers. Planning and design is what’s going to make your bathroom shine, so we want to ensure everything is planned for as best as possible, and in doing so, we reduce any chances of mishaps along the way.
Permits and Approvals: Don’t Forget the Red Tape!
The permitting process, depending on your township or county can cause unexpected delays. It’s best to do some preliminary research prior to undertaking the bathroom renovation process, so you can set your expectations on how long the permit approval process may take. If the permitting process is efficient and timely in your area, great! If it’s delayed and bogged down, you may want to anticipate an extended amount of added time when choosing to renovate your bathroom.
