Ganser Company

Now that you’ve decided to invest in a bathroom renovation this season, the next crucial step is getting a quote from local remodeling contractors. This doesn’t stop here – you still have to evaluate those quotes so you’ll have a clearer understanding of the project’s scope and your budget. Here’s how you can effectively assess and compare bathroom renovation quotes.

1. Make sure the quote is written down. Get a physical copy of the quote first and foremost. There are actually bathroom contractors who give quotes over the phone, often without taking a look at your existing bathroom beforehand. This won’t fly: a quote is an important part of the remodeling process. You’ll want to know exactly where your budget will be spent on, and it would be hard to keep track of the figures when they’re not printed down.

2. Check if the bath remodeling quote is detailed. This means every aspect of the project is spelled out. This should include the start and completion dates, materials to be used and their costs, hourly labor expenses and warranty coverage. Factors like removal and disposal rates, building permits and portable toilets should also be written in the quote. If there are expenses that seem vague or out of place, ask your contractor for clarification ASAP.

3. Take a close look at how the numbers are presented. Cost comparisons and other related figures should be detailed in the bathroom remodel quote. But how are they written down? Make sure the information within the quote is direct, transparent and easy to follow. An organized remodeling quote is a good one. And in the event that it’s not itemized correctly, ask the contractor for a revision. Do so before signing a contract or taking a look at another quote.

Factors That Affect Your Bathroom Remodeling Costs

Your bath renovation quote is affected by a number of different factors that can either drive up your costs further or keep them down. 

1. A larger design-build company is generally costlier to hire, but it will use better and more specialized equipment and offer higher quality options and extensive warranty coverage.

2. Bathroom surface materials can drastically increase your bathroom remodeling costs based on your design choices. For instance, porcelain or ceramic tiles for walls and flooring are versatile and cost-effective, but their grout lines make them difficult to clean and maintain. Marble and granite for countertops are beautiful, but they’re also expensive and come with higher maintenance requirements. 

3. Building permits and removal fees are considered hidden costs because they’re not always included in the quote. Both charges are necessary, however, so make sure to discuss them with your contractor beforehand.

Avoid a DIY Bathroom Remodel

Like most home upgrades, a bathroom remodel will require the expertise of a professional. This helps eliminate the potential of costly mistakes and inadvertent damage to crucial bathroom components, such as the plumbing. The question is: where exactly can you find a remodeling contractor who will not only be a good match for your needs, but will provide you with a comprehensive and accurate quote?
