How Can I trust a bathroom remodeler near me?

A Mutual Vetting Process

Trust is a gift, but retained trust is the goal

Bathrooms

First, many home owners know if they have purchased a stepping stone home or if they plan to be there long term. This article is for the home owner looking to stay long term.

When choosing to invest into your lifestyle design by creating more beautiful and effective spaces in your home, you'll select your favorite design features and finishes.  

It's our job to help you answer each design question along the way make all your product selections. You can prepare to invest $45,000 to $100,000 on a primary bathroom or $30,000 to $45,000 on a guest bathroom.

There are families who love their home but they aren't sure they're going to be there forever, despite no existing plans to sell. These families love quality, classy timeless looks and avoid hot trends that will be here today and gone tomorrow. These families choose a design-build firm to have everything done for them at a one-stop-shop. They select finishes that are durable and can take a lot of regular use. These families will often spend between $25,000 and $65,000 on a master bath or other large bathroom. Nothing extravagant and nothing cheap. 


How can I communicate with a bathroom remodeler near me?

The timeline is dependent on many factors but here are a few general ideas. 

You can expect a partial bathroom remodel to take between one and three weeks, depending on the scope specified in your detailed line-item estimate. This includes powder rooms.

Small bathrooms are typically 5x7, 6x8, or some variation thereof. These small bathrooms can take two to four weeks to complete, assuming no special order custom finishes.

Master bathrooms start out at a rounded 10x10. These bathrooms can be much larger but we're just talking about the classic size and layouts. They will take anywhere from three to six weeks typically. 

Remember, these timelines are construction only and your design and collaboration occur beforehand and are not counted in these approximate timelines.

What can I expect from a bathroom remodeler near me?

There are always a few key things to look out for when preparing for a bathroom remodel, no matter how simple. Here are a few for your reference:

  1. Keep in mind that the bathroom has more moisture in it than any other room in the house. Watch for mold and mildew.
  2. Current or past leaks can contribute to dry rot of the framing which would need to be replaced.
  3. The seal around old toilets often goes bad, so there are tiny slow leaks that cause dry rot and disintegration of the subflooring which needs to be replaced. 
  4. San Diego bathroom remodelers near you should all be looking for pests too. We have a high concentration of termites and other pests in this area of the country. 

At any rate, if you open up walls, you may get more than you asked for. So what do we do to avoid change orders? First thing, we educate you along the way to keep you informed in advance as much as possible. Second, we execute a "demo-and-discovery" before we finalize your detailed line-item estimate so that your price includes all foreseeable work.

Our families love the demo-and-discovery process because it allows them to rest at ease, knowing that we've done our due diligence at every step.

This Memorial Day, we at Teknik Design & Remodeling wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who have served and continue to serve our country.

Freedom is a precious gift, one that comes at a high price. This price has been paid by the courageous individuals in our military, along with their families who bear the burden of their sacrifices.

Each project we undertake is fueled by a dedication to hard work and a respect for the values our nation was built upon, principles shared by those we honor on this day.

Quality Matters: The High Cost of Poor Workmanship and How Teknik Can Help

In home remodeling, as in many areas of life, quality matters. Investing in poor-quality work can seem like a bargain initially, but it often leads to additional costs and hassles down the line. Today, we share a cautionary tale from one of our recent clients in San Diego who learned this the hard way.

When our client purchased their new home, they were unaware that the previous owners had opted for low-quality remodeling work. However, the problems soon surfaced: structural issues, poorly installed fixtures, and signs of premature wear and tear. The cost of rectifying these problems ended up being two to three times more than what would have been spent on quality work initially.

This scenario is not uncommon. Attempting to save money by choosing contractors who cut corners or use subpar materials can lead to a cycle of remove, fix, and repair - a cycle that is not only expensive but also time-consuming and stressful.

At Teknik Design & Remodeling, we believe in doing things right the first time. Our team is dedicated to providing top-quality remodeling services that stand the test of time. Whether it's a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or home addition, we use only the best materials and employ skilled craftsmen who take pride in their work.

Choosing Teknik means choosing peace of mind, knowing that your remodeling project will be done with the utmost care and expertise. It's an investment in your home's future and your own enjoyment of it.

Don't learn the hard way that poor quality leads to more trouble. Trust Teknik for quality remodeling services in San Diego. Call us today at 858-775-7628 and have your remodeling done right the first time. Because with Teknik, quality is not just an expectation – it's a guarantee.

Before and After: Transforming Water-Damaged Decks with Teknik Design & Remodeling

Dealing with home damages can be overwhelming, especially when they're as severe as the effects of water intrusion. At Teknik Design & Remodeling, we specialize in turning such challenging situations into transformative opportunities. Today, we're excited to share some before and after updates from a recent project in San Diego that perfectly illustrate this expertise.

The water damage to our client's deck was extensive, necessitating a full demolition, reconstruction, and redesign by our skilled team. The result is a shining example of how we at Teknik not only repair and rebuild but also improve and innovate.

The before photos showcase the extent of the water damage - a once beloved outdoor space rendered unsafe and unsightly. The after pictures, however, tell a different story: a story of recovery, resilience, and redesign.

Our team didn't just restore the deck to its original state; we made strategic enhancements to the structure and design. The deck has been reconstructed to be safer and sounder than ever, ensuring it will withstand the test of time and elements.

We are still in the process of adding the final touches, so stay tuned for more updates! But, even in its current state, the transformation is remarkable – a testament to the possibilities that come with professional remodeling and reconstruction.

With us, you're not just getting a repair; you're getting a team that's committed to enhancing your home and lifestyle. Let's turn challenges into transformations together!

From Water Damage to Summer Ready: Teknik’s Deck Restoration and Redesign

At Teknik Design & Remodeling, we understand the distress and inconvenience that unexpected home damages can cause. A prime example is a project we recently completed, where our client's home had suffered severe water intrusion damage. The damage was so extensive that it required our team to demo and reconstruct their deck entirely.

The challenge was significant, but our team approached it with unwavering determination, a strategic plan, and a commitment to excellence. In addition to reconstructing the deck, we also had the opportunity to redesign it. This involved careful planning, craftsmanship, and attention to detail to ensure the deck's durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

We provided updates on this project a few weeks ago, but we are now excited to showcase the final product. Not only does the new deck rectify the water intrusion problem, but it also enhances the outdoor living space just in time for the summer season.

With its sturdy construction and inviting design, the deck is now ready for leisurely afternoons, sunset cocktails, and summertime gatherings. It's a testament to how we at Teknik can turn a challenging situation into a beautiful, usable, and joyful space for homeowners in San Diego.

A New Journey Begins… Master Suite – Demo Phase

There's an undeniable excitement that comes with home renovations - the anticipation of a fresh, new space designed to your specifications. At Teknik Design & Remodeling, we're thrilled to invite you on an exhilarating journey as we commence the demolition phase of a Master Suite remodeling project.

Demolition signifies the start of a transformation, and in our recent video, we provide a unique insight into the careful yet decisive process we undertake to pave the way for the new. The demo phase is where the existing structure is cleared to create a blank canvas for the incoming design. As specialists in remodeling, we understand the importance of this crucial first step. It's not just about tearing down; it's about preparing for what's to come.

Throughout this exciting journey, we'll be providing regular updates to keep you engaged in the process. As we progress from demolition to the construction phase, we'll offer behind-the-scenes glimpses into our meticulous work. You’ll be able to witness the transformation of an ordinary Master Suite into a luxurious, personalized haven.

At Teknik, we're committed to not only transforming homes but also ensuring that our clients are part of the journey. Whether you're considering remodeling your Master Suite or curious about the process, we encourage you to stay tuned to our updates.

Embark on a journey of transformation with Teknik Design & Remodeling, and discover the remarkable potential of your home. We're looking forward to bringing your dream Master Suite to life, from the demo phase right through to the final, stunning reveal.

Why We Do Not Provide Initial Estimates

At Teknik Design & Remodeling, we strive to redefine the remodeling experience in San Diego, moving beyond the traditional 'estimate' model. We've honed a strategic and surgical process that provides our clients with a "True Quote" — a more accurate, more reliable method to approach kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

Unlike an estimate, which is formed by judgment or opinion, our "True Quote" is derived from a meticulous process of understanding and planning. We commence by building a comprehensive profile of your project’s scope and vision. This involves reviewing every aspect of the project, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Following the initial review, our team presents a variety of design options tailored to your needs and preferences. Having a company like ours design your plans proves beneficial, as our experience enables us to foresee potential challenges during the demolition, remodeling, and building phases - obstacles that traditional design firms might miss.

We then progress to the Demo Discovery phase, where we uncover what might be hidden behind the scenes that could impact the project's outcome. Our team also accompanies you to various San Diego vendors, assisting with material selection, a key factor that influences the "True Quote."

Finally, armed with all the necessary details, we can provide you the "True Quote," offering an impressive 90% accuracy on the construction cost of the project. This careful, strategic planning reduces the chances of unexpected Change Orders and "Oops!" scenarios.

Contact us at 858-775-7628 to start your remodeling journey. Experience the peace of mind that comes with Teknik's seamless, well-planned kitchen or bathroom remodeling process and the accuracy of our "True Quote." It’s time to bring your remodeling visions to life, minus the guesswork.
