Bathroom Remodels During The Holidays

We're closing in on the month of November and you've got a few things on your mind! These concerns may include school schedules, work deadlines, holidays, how to navigate family gatherings, and now you're realizing you can't keep putting off your bathroom remodel!

Don't worry, we've got your back. We've been stressed out before with a lot of legitimate work to do, and stuck in the martyr narrative of "everyone else first, I can't afford to take the time or money to do this remodel". We get it and we're here to help. 

The reality is that bathroom remodels can be put off for up to five or ten years but if you wait too long, you may be at risk of leaks, both plumbing or faulty waterproofing. If there are leaks, then you'll have dry rot or worse and much more pain long term.

Check out these three tips to help you get through your holiday bathroom remodel!

  1. Understand the holiday bathroom remodel timeline
  2. Understand the materials delivery protocols
  3. Understand the dust and dirt before you schedule gatherings

Understand The Holiday Remodel Timeline

For the 2020 Holiday schedule, here is what you need to know:

The following holidays are not business days, so manufacturers, venders, and suppliers will be closed.

  1. Thanksgiving - November 26th
  2. Black Friday - November 27th
  3. Christmas Eve - Thursday, December 24th 
  4. Christmas Day - Friday, December 25th
  5. News Years Eve - Thursday, December 31st
  6. New Years Day - Friday, January 1st

Hopefully this list helps, because it will affect production in two ways. There are six fewer business days in this next season, so we loose one week there.

But, momentum matters and three of six weeks are three day work weeks instead of five day work weeks.

Therefore momentum will be negatively affected for all the players on the team. This is beautiful and necessary for enjoying the holidays and our families.

Ensure you take this into account and add another two+ weeks to your project schedule if it stratals the holiday season.

Understand The Materials Delivery Protocols

Materials are in stock in some cases, but are back ordered in other cases.

The goal is to keep the project going once it is started. When we can wait until we have all products on hand before starting, we will have a great time getting your project complted on time with no breaks. 

The thing to be on the lookout for is when a contractor wants to get started ASAP, then play it by ear...no! This will not end well. 

At Teknik, we ensure that we are checking on product availability before a contract has even been signed so that we can pivot if we need to and select a similar product/material that will be available and allow the project to move forward. 

Once we have everything we need for the first 50% of construction, we will begin demolition, so that the phases play out in smooth succession.

Understand The Dust Before You Schedule Parties

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? 

Let's go with the bad news first.

The bad news is that your holiday season will be affected by your remodel and there is nothing you can do about it. Your contractor will impact the cleanliness and schedule but he doesn't have 100% control over it so schedule parties at your own risk.

Now for the good news.

The good news is that Teknik teams will do the following to keep your home clean during construction:

  1. Mask off the construction area whenever possible
  2. Cover and mask or move furniture as needed
  3. Cover the floor with ram paper
  4. Run an air scrubber during demolition
  5. Run a HEPA filter
  6. Maintain a broom clean work area every day

With these practices in place, we end up with "the crew was so clean!" in most of our reviews. But don't take our word for it. Check out our reviews at rb.gy/h2u1su

Top Three Benefits of Remodeling Multiple Bathrooms at Once

So you're excited to get your bathrooms updated but you're not sold AT ALL on doing them all at once. You're thinking correctly when you recite that your goals are to save time and save money. And you'd also be thinking correctly when you remember that you'd like to get all the work done efficiently and you'd like to get on with your life! Here are three points that will help you.

  1. Improved timeline
  2. Improved cost
  3. Improved product availability

Man, we know about being overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. 

But don’t worry. In this article, we'll show you where to start! 

Read on for the first three things you MUST KNOW before you begin!

Teknik Testimonial

Improved Timeline

The timeline of your project will be custom designed for you. It will be informed by the scope, material availability, crews assigned to your project, and several other factors. 

If you're considering adding a second or third bathroom, for example, then your project timeline can be custom built around the efficiency of doing many thing simultaneously. Basically, three times the work will not triple your project timeline.

Can you imagine having to start with demolition, transition to 15 different stages, reach full completion, then start over with demolition in a second bathroom? Neither can we!

When you bundle scope together, the pre-construction work only happens once. The coordination and ordering of materials only happens once, and the setup phase only happens once. 

You will love your decision to bundle your different projects into one.

BONUS: When you wait to do your second bathroom until "later", the calendar of your favorite contractor is getting full. During COVID, we've been busier than ever in this industry. We are often booked out 4 to 6 months, so there is no guarantee that a crew will be available for you on demand. Bundle and save time!

Improved Cost

If your timeline doesn't triple just because the work triples, then there will also be a cost savings associated with doing more work at once. 

First, pre-construction work includes collaboration on design, layout, material selections, and value-engineering. The bigger the scope, the more opportunities there are to get creative and find solutions that might not otherwise exist!

Secondly, when you bundle work our crews can execute with great efficiency, so you'll save money on labor and you'll be surprised with how trim, tidy, and timely our crews are. That's our Three-T Promise to you!

Improved Material Availability

COVID has made ordering materials a great challenge.

Sourcing some raw materials and manufacturing at plants with throttled production capacity has lead to a decrease in supply across industries.

All home owners that are working remotely are also in the mood to remodel since they will be stuck at home anyway, which has lead to an increase in demand. 

So, if you're seriously considering going through all the work and effort to remodel, make sure you include all the work on your wish list. This will allow you to get ahead of the crowd and get all your materials, specialty or standard, in one fell swoop. Then you can get started and prepare for an on-time completion!
