Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks. Simple updates may take just 1-2 weeks, while complete renovations with layout changes can take 4-6 weeks.

Can I live in my home during the remodel?

In most cases, yes! We take measures to contain dust and debris. For kitchen remodels, we can set up a temporary kitchen area. For bathroom remodels, you'll need access to another bathroom.

What happens if there are unexpected delays?

We communicate proactively about any issues that arise. If we discover hidden problems (like water damage or electrical issues), we'll discuss options and costs before proceeding.
