Frequently Asked Questions about Bathroom Renovation Projects:

How long does a renovation typically take?
The length of a renovation depends on the size of the project and scope of work. Typically, a renovation can take between 4-8 weeks. Once your project is estimated, your project manager will be able to provide a more specific schedule and timeframe of the project.

How many tile selections do I need to make?
Many projects have various tile selections. It is common to use a different tile for the bathroom floor, shower floor, and shower walls. Adding tile in other locations is also an option for design purposes. Utilizing tile selections from other parts of the bathroom design in other details is another way to create a cohesive design. Adding the wall tiles into a niche in the shower or using a coordinating material to create a bench or shelf can add function and style to your space.

What considerations do I have when picking tile for my bathroom?
When choosing a tile, keep in mind your desired layout, a pattern and design you are going for with the project.

What hardware options are there for a shower?
There are several features you can add to your shower. Some include control levers, shower head style, and body sprayers or jets. Different styles come in different finishes. Common finishes are matte black, oil rubbed bronze, brass, brushed nickel, stainless, satin brass, polished brass, polished nickel, chrome, and brushed bronze.

What do you suggest in terms of vanity or cabinetry?
Vanity and cabinetry are often personal preference and depend on the size and shape of your bathroom. In smaller spaces, pedestal sinks or floating vanities are a great option. In larger bathrooms like a primary suite, a large double vanity with lots of storage is a great option. Considerations for choosing a vanity include, color, design, style, and storage.

What do I use as a vanity top?
We often use marble, granite or quartz for vanity tops.

How do I pick a sink?
There are different sink styles to look into to make a decision. Determining your preference on an under-mount, built-in, or vessel sink is a great first step in deciding on a sink.

Should I have a shower door?
A new bathroom trend is to not have a shower door and only have a half wall to contain water in the shower. If not having a door is not your style, there are different style options to choose from. There are trackless doors, bi-fold doors, frameless doors, and sliding doors are some options for a shower door.

What other accessories can I add to my bathroom?
Depending on what you use on a day to day basis making decicions for a towel bar, toilet paper holder, robe hooks or a towel ring are some accessory additions you can add to your project. Adding a mirror, medicine cabinet or wall storage are other accessories you can add to your space.

What lighting options do I have?
Adding a light in the shower, sconces by your vanity, or toe-kick lighting are extra features to add in addition to overhead lighting. Toe-kick lighting can be especially helpful when not wanting to use lots of light early in the morning or late at night. In addition to lighting, having a fan and heat combo is a great addition to a bathroom project.

Do I need to buy the materials myself?
We can help source products for you and give you recommended or popular options to choose from or we can purchase the items you have sourced yourself. No matter how you want to make material decisions, we are here to help.
