Budget planning
A useful bathroom budget starts with what is being changed, what is staying, and which selections are included. We prepare written estimates after seeing the room.
Start here
Compare scope before comparing totals. A shower-only remodel, a tub conversion and a full bathroom remodel include different trades, materials and unknowns, even when the rooms are the same size.
Typical inclusions
Shower demolition, substrate preparation, a compatible waterproofing assembly, finish surfaces, fixtures and glass within the agreed shower area.
Clarify in writing
Vanity, toilet, room-wide flooring, lighting and layout changes unless added to the written scope.
Typical inclusions
Tub removal, drain and valve work required by the selected layout, shower base or pan, waterproofing, wall finish and enclosure.
Clarify in writing
Work outside the former tub footprint, hidden-condition repairs and room-wide finish upgrades unless specified.
Typical inclusions
A coordinated written scope covering demolition, layout, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, wet-area construction, cabinetry and finishes selected for the room.
Clarify in writing
Work in adjacent rooms and unforeseen concealed conditions unless the scope specifically includes them.
The estimate should identify inclusions, exclusions and allowances. If a hidden condition or requested change affects price or schedule, the change should be described and approved in writing before the added work proceeds.
