Here we will provide insight into every step of the process, so you know what is involved before starting your bathroom remodeling project. Read on to find out all the details!
The Initial Meeting – What to Expect Before You Start the Remodel
Your in-home consultation kicks off the remodeling process. Ken Spears Construction provides this initial meeting so you can start on the right foot for your professional bathroom renovation project! This allows our experienced team to assess your situation and talk to you about new options that may fit your tastes and budget. Ultimately, you’ll benefit from making informed decisions regarding what works best for your bathroom remodel needs without feeling overwhelmed.
Preparing for the Big Day
Nail Down the Details with Your Remodeling Team
While embarking on a home remodel, discussing the details with your contractor is essential:
- What precautions will they take to keep the other areas of your house clean and safe?
- Will you need to brace yourself for dust storms during construction, or can diligent crews minimize any mess?
- When do they plan to wrap up each day so that life doesn’t become too inconvenient while renovations are underway?
- How long should you expect key elements like electricity and water supply not to function?
Make a Family Plan
Considering the implications of your home renovation project, it’s essential to develop a plan that makes life easier for everyone. Take measures such as altering entry points and clearing pathways to reduce foot traffic inside the house – maybe even use an alternative entrance like the back door! Keep pets or kids away from any construction activity, so they remain safe. And remember how this could affect your exterior property; map out available parking space for potential large trucks before work begins.
The Remodeling Period
A bathroom remodel can take days to several weeks (no matter how much planning goes into them). And during the process, prepare for multiple inconveniences. Other bathrooms in the house may be inaccessible due to associated water and electrical shutoffs.
Transform your bathroom from a cluttered mess to an empty canvas – ready for the contractor’s creative touch! Ensure shelves and drawers are cleared out, rugs and towels removed, furniture removed, and any additional wall-mounted items removed.
Make sure you have everything on hand to keep dust under control. Stock up with filters for vacuums, cleaning supplies, and extra towels – after all that dust has settled, there will be a great transformation inside your home!
There will be some noise, so be prepared to experience some loud commotion around the house. To ensure your family and work aren’t interrupted by all this noise, providing alternative settings like coffee shops or parks with Wi-Fi works excellent for those Zoom calls. Remember that moving your car may be necessary, so workers have enough space to do their job correctly.
Demolition and Construction Planning – What’s Involved in the Process
Your remodeling team will assess if additional framing or plumbing alterations are needed and review all potential considerations before starting the project. Our professionals are knowledgeable and experienced in permits, inspections, where to purchase quality materials at a cost-effective rate, and overall expectations throughout the project. With their expertise and workload plan laid out beforehand, you can rest assured that your professional bathroom renovation will be handled efficiently from start to finish!

Tips to Make Your Project Run Smoothly
Resist Making Changes During the Construction Process
It may be tempting to mix up the design of your project while it’s under construction, but any changes you make will likely result in increased costs and possible delays – a dangerous combination! Stick with the plan as much as possible throughout your build for greater success.
Make Design Decisions Promptly
Don’t hesitate to make design decisions early. There’s nothing worse than having the plumber arrive and not knowing what type of tub or tile to install. Don’t wait until it’s too late–choose materials before construction starts, so there are no surprises.
