It's October 2020 and you've got to get your bathrooms updated right away. Don't rush yourself; let us walk you through a few top concerns and what you should consider when selecting your contractor and selecting your finishes.
- Right up front - no need for three to five site visits
- Second - How to choose your contractor
- Third - How to choose your selections
Of course this year has not gone according to plan. But two things are for sure. There are still two and a half months left, and your triple bathroom remodel can definitely go according to plan.
You're in the right place! In this article, we'll show you where to start!
Read on for the keys to a successful pre-construction and construction process.
Right Up Front - No Need For Three To Five Site Visits
We know. We see it every day.
Get a bunch of site visits booked, follow up to get a bunch of bids and then decide on the right guy.
Sounds like a good idea but the truth is, you'll end up with an average contractor and larger-than-average problems. Que change order *buzzer*.
The idea is this: Homeowner thinks, "I'll do my due diligence so I don't overspend"
The reality is this: Contractor thinks, "If I'm giving away free estimates all day long, then I'll just approximate and hopefully I get enough jobs to keep the doors open."
The result is this: Homeowner chooses based on price (mistake), the contractor gets on the job and starts to do due diligence at that point, and change orders are issued. This of course frustrates the homeowner to no end.
The solution is this: Slow down and breath when you're going to sit down and research contractors. Don't start making calls frantically over your lunch break. Take 30 minutes. Get organized. Single out a few contractors who look promising and move forward.

Second - How to Choose Your Contractor
You can whittle down your list of seven to ten contractors without any site visits.
Visit websites like homeadvisor.com, houzz.com, facebook.com, twitter.com, instagram.com and cslb.com to see if the contractors on your list are licensed, bonded, ensured, carrying workers comp insurance.
Once you've done that, read their reviews online and have a conversation or two with each of them. For sure, you will have the list down to one or two.
Book your site visits with each of them and then make a decision and be at peace with it. Both companies are qualified pros.
Once you choose your contractor, you'll begin working from the ballpark price range that was agreed upon, to get all your selections chosen and into your detailed, line-item estimate.
...Which brings us to selections!...

Second - How To Choose Your Selections
In order to be better prepared than 80% of home owners, build an Ideabook on Houzz.com
This allows for two things:
- You'll select what you like and don't like in each photo. You'll be able to add a note or caption so you remember exactly which feature you liked within that photo.
- You'll gain clarity on the entire look and functionality, vs. having a bunch of unrelated ideas. As you select photos 12, 13, 14, and 15, you'll start to see themes and you'll be excited to go back and delete some of the first photos you selected because they no longer fit your aesthetic!
Instructions:
Create Your Ideabook
- Get Ideas>Bathroom>Use filters if desired>Hover over the photo>Click Save>Add notes on the photo>Drop down menu> + Create New>Save!
