Planning a Bathroom Remodel: What to Expect and How We Make the Process Smooth

When planning a bathroom remodel, it’s normal to have questions and even some concerns. After all, remodeling is an investment in your home, your comfort, and your future. At Contigo Group, our goal is to make the process as clear and stress free as possible. Here are some of the most common concerns homeowners share with us,

and how we address them.

1. Budget & Affordability

Every project begins with a clear estimate. We know bathrooms can vary widely in cost depending on size, finishes, and scope, so we provide detailed numbers upfront. We can also discuss phasing (for example, tackling one bathroom at a time) if that’s a better fit for your budget.

2. Scope & Inclusions

One big question is, “Is everything included?” Our estimates spell out exactly what’s covered — from demolition and waterproofing to fixtures, finishes, and permits. This helps eliminate surprises and gives you confidence that the project you sign for is the project we’ll deliver.

3. Architectural Services Fee

For certain spaces, like basement bathrooms, we recommend architectural and estimating services. This step ensures accurate drawings, measurements, and budgeting before we begin. It’s an investment that protects you from costly surprises later, and the fee is credited toward the project.

4. Timeline

Remodeling doesn’t happen overnight, but we provide a realistic schedule so you’ll always know what to expect. The process includes architectural services, permitting, and construction — and we’ll let you know when your bathrooms will be fully ready.

5. Living Through Construction

We understand that construction can disrupt your daily life. Our crews protect your home with dust barriers, floor coverings, and daily cleanup. We’ll also make sure you have clear communication about when crews will be on-site.

6. Using Our Project Software

We’ve set up a client portal where you can access all your project documents, estimates, agreements, and updates in one place. It’s simple to use, and we’re here to walk you through it so you feel comfortable from day one.

7. Decision-Making Support

Choosing tile, fixtures, and finishes can feel overwhelming. That’s why we guide you through selections step by step, always balancing style, durability, and budget. You’ll never have to make big decisions alone.

8. Unexpected Issues

Older homes can sometimes hide surprises — plumbing, electrical, or structural issues. If something comes up, we’ll explain it clearly, provide options, and issue a written change order before proceeding. No hidden costs, no surprises.

9. Value & Quality

A bathroom remodel isn’t just about updating looks — it’s about improving functionality and adding long-term value to your home. Our goal is to deliver quality work that makes your investment worthwhile, whether you stay in your home for years or plan to sell in the future.

At Contigo Group, we believe a well-planned bathroom remodel should be exciting, not stressful. By addressing these concerns upfront and keeping you informed every step of the way, we turn the house you like into the home you love.

If you’re ready to explore your bathroom project, we’re here to guide you — with answers, support, and a process designed for peace of mind.
