How much will it cost to remodel my bathroom?
During our initial conversations we will talk with you about the scale of your bathroom or master suite project and how it compares to other, similar projects.
Then, in our detailed planning process, our Minneapolis bathroom remodeling experts will provide budgets to accompany preliminary design options.
Finally, you will receive a bid-priced contract defining exactly what your final design will cost. We know you need good information to make good decisions, and cost is an important factor of those decisions.
Who will I talk to during my bathroom remodel?
Throughout the entire bathroom remodeling process, you will have a dedicated team helping you with your project.
During the design and planning phase, your main point of contact will be your project’s Design Specialist. You will then be introduced to your Project Lead during the pre-construction walkthrough meeting. Once construction begins, your project’s Design Specialist will stay in contact to make sure things go as planned, but your Project Lead becomes your first point of contact. You will also be able to communicate with everyone on the team at once, together, in your online client portal.
What can I expect regarding the project schedule?
Our production team is committed to driving your bathroom remodel project forward in the most efficient way possible, but we never want to risk quality by rushing things. The detailed planning that takes place before construction even begins is one way that we can assure the building process goes smoothly and according to schedule. Between the construction contract and the beginning of construction activities (the pre-construction phase), we will concentrate on helping you make final decisions.
We will then provide a schedule for you in your online portal, where you will always be able to monitor progress and will receive daily updates. You can expect that your MN bathroom remodel will be finished according to the schedule and that you will always know what’s happening.
