For families in Prescott, hiring bathroom remodel contractors feels stressful until you have a plan. Here’s what to do and consider before signing any contracts or saying yes to any projects.
Get Clear on Your Priorities
First things first. Think through the scope and priorities of your bathroom remodel project:
- Are you looking to make a few upgrades or do a full-scale remodel?
- Are there underlying issues with your plumbing and electrical systems that need attention?
- Will this project involve a new bathroom design, and/or construction/build?
- How much space are you working with?
- Do you need to improve accessibility, functionality, aesthetics, or all of the above?
Do Your Research
Once you understand your project scope, it makes it easier to research bathroom remodel contractors near you. Here are some things to check:
- Service Area: Local contractors can offer personalized service and more streamlined communication than many regional or national ones.
- Credentials: Make sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured to protect your home and your investment.
- Special Focus: Do they have a special focus that matches what you’re looking for? Some bathroom remodel contractors focus on residential projects, while others are commercial. Some may only tackle large projects, while others can transform any size space, including small bathrooms.
- Reputation: Check their reviews. What positive (or negative) feedback comes up over and over? Visit their project portfolios. Do their finished projects align with the bathroom transformation you’re hoping for?
Interview Potential Contractors
Anyone being hired for a job should expect an interview, including bathroom remodel contractors. Here are some good questions to gain helpful insight during the initial consultation:
- Are you licensed, bonded, and insured? Please provide proof.
- How long have you been in business?
- What is your service area?
- Do you have specific experience with my type of bathroom remodel?
- Are there any bathroom upgrade projects you don’t typically do?
- May I see a list of references from recent clients?
- Can you show me some before-and-after photos or videos of your bathroom remodel projects?
- Do you handle permits and inspections?
- Now that you know about my project, can you give me an estimated timeline?
- Will you handle subcontractors? Are they also licensed and insured?
- Describe your approach to project management and client communication.
- Who would be my point of contact for questions?
- How often should I expect updates, and where/how would I track progress?
- What’s your approach to cleanup and containment?
- Can you provide a detailed, itemized estimate?
- What is the payment schedule/payment plan for my project?
- How do you handle unexpected issues or changes to the project, and how will that affect the budget?
- Do you offer a warranty on your labor, materials, and workmanship?
- How do you address and resolve client complaints?
- What products or materials do you recommend and why?
- What happens during a walkthrough? When is a project considered complete?
