A bathroom remodel, whether big or small, is an important investment. As the bathroom is one of the most used rooms in a home, it is crucial that every facet of the project is well-thought-out and carefully considered and planned. One of the important steps in planning for a successful bathroom remodeling project is to ask your contractor about its most vital aspects.
Bath Planet of Southwest Virginia shares the important questions that you should ask any contractor before starting a bathroom improvement project.
Are you licensed and insured?
It is crucial that you deal with a fully licensed and insured contractor. Licenses and permits are solid assurance of you having a reliable contractor with the legal eligibility to do the job correctly. Insurance likewise protects you from any liabilities that could arise as a result of incidents or accidents that may take place while the project is ongoing.
How long will the project take?
Your contractor must be able to provide you with a detailed work schedule. This lets you set your expectations and helps prevent disagreements and confusion while the project is ongoing. Ask about contingency plans, too, should any delays occur due to unforeseen circumstances.
Do you provide product and labor warranties?
As bathroom remodeling is an important investment, it’s imperative that you make sure that you are adequately protected. Ask if the materials and products, including your showersheads and faucets–and yes–even your bathroom liner are covered by solid product warranties. Ask if they also offer labor warranties and for how long. Bath Planet of Southwest Virginia, for instance, offers a wide variety of bath remodeling solutions that are all backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
Do you have a portfolio and can you provide a reference list?
To gauge the experience and skills of a bathroom remodeling contractor, it’s best if they can show you a portfolio of previous projects. Better yet, ask for a list of previous clients and take the time to contact some of them to inquire about their experience with the contractor.
