KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL BATHROOM REMODELING PROCESS

Keys to a Successful Bathroom Remodel: Past Events

EXPERIENCE

Select a contractor with a lot of experience.  I have over 20 years of interior remodeling experience and had remodeled over 200 bathrooms.  Every customer benefits from our experience

DESIGN CONSULTATION

I have remodeled over 200 bathrooms so he understands how to design a bathroom to both look beautiful but also to function well.  I have many ways to improve even small bathrooms.  On larger bathrooms with redesign I will use 3D modeling to show you options.

STAYING IN BUDGET

Our projects stay in budget because we do careful planning, have a system, work with the same subcontractors and suppliers.  Before we sign the contract, You will make the key product selections so we get firm prices (cabinets, counter tops, plumbing fixtures, appliances, tile and flooring).

​

The project’s cost changes for only 3 reasons:

  1. Allowances- Customer spends either more or less than what was budgeted.

  2. Changes- The owner makes changes to the original plans.

  3. Hidden Conditions- These rarely occur due to our experience.

​

STAYING ON SCHEDULE

Before we begin, we have taken our system and modified the daily schedule to meet your unique project.  Everyday is scheduled before we begin the project so we have the material and subcontractors scheduled.  Changes and hidden conditions may extend a project.

SUB-CONTRACTORS ARE PART OF OUR TEAM

As the only employee of Buttondown Remodeling I utilize my team of sub-contractors.  They are part of my professional team.   We use only one carefully selected subcontractor in each trade.  We have selected our subcontractors based on their quality of work, experience, level of service and price.  In a bathroom, we always use our licensed electrician and licensed plumber.  In addition, we may use the following subcontractors: counter tops, drywall, painting, tile, and HVAC.  I pride myself on doing the finish carpentry.

CRAFTMANSHIP

I personally install the cabinets and do the trim work.  I take great pride in my work, and the pride shows.  I utilize key sub-contractors to do some of the other work.  None of us settle for close enough!

WHY DO WANT TO A GET A PERMIT?  OTHERS WILL DO THE PROJECT WITHOUT A PERMIT.

Do not hire a contractor who does not want to get a permit for a large project like a kitchen, bathroom or basement. Permits protect you, the customer. There are many reason that unethical contractors do not want to get permits and they are signs of trouble.  These may include:

  • They do not carry the required insurance

  • They do not have the credentials to get a contractor license

  • They want to the plumbing or electric themselves. These trades must be done by licensed contractors.General contractors insurance will not cover these trades if not done by licensed contractors.
