Step 1: Planning Your Bathroom Remodel
Before any work begins, it’s important to have a clear plan. During this phase, you’ll meet with our bathroom remodeling experts to talk about your ideas, needs, and budget. We’ll help you pick out materials like tile, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures. This is also the time to decide if you want to change the layout of your bathroom or keep things in the same place.
Things to think about during planning:
- How much space do you have?
- What features are most important to you? (ex: walk-in shower, double sink)
- What is your budget?
- Do you want a modern or classic look?
This phase usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on how many choices you need to make.
Step 2: Design and Estimates
Once we know what you want, our design team will create a custom plan for your bathroom remodeling project. This will include sketches, layouts, and 3D designs so you can see what your new bathroom will look like.
At the same time, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate and timeline. This helps you understand how long the project will take and what it will cost. For most bathroom remodels, the work takes about 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish.
Step 3: Demolition and Prep Work
Now it’s time to get started! The first stage of construction is demolition. Our team will carefully remove old fixtures, flooring, cabinets, and anything else that needs to go. Don’t worry—we’ll protect other areas of your home from dust and debris.
Demolition usually takes 1 to 3 days. Once that’s done, we’ll inspect the plumbing and electrical systems to make sure everything is safe and up to code. If anything needs to be updated, we’ll take care of it before moving on.
Step 4: Rough-In Work (Plumbing & Electrical)
Next, we install or update the plumbing and electrical systems based on your design. If you’re adding a double sink, new lighting, or moving the toilet or shower, this is the time we make those changes. It’s important to get these parts right since they’re hidden behind the walls.
This phase can take 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the job. After this is finished, an inspector may need to visit and approve the work before we move forward.
Step 5: Walls, Floors, and Tile Work
After the rough-in is complete, we start rebuilding the bathroom. This includes putting up new drywall, painting, laying the floors, and installing tiles in the shower or around the bathtub.
Tile work can take up to a week, depending on the size of your bathroom and the complexity of the design. We take our time to make sure everything is even, waterproof, and looks amazing.
Step 6: Cabinets, Vanities, and Fixtures
Once the surfaces are done, we will install your new cabinets, vanity, toilet, sink, lighting, and other fixtures. This is the fun part where you really start to see your new bathroom come together!
During this phase, we also take care of the details—like mirrors, towel bars, shelves, and paint touch-ups. It usually takes 3 to 5 days to complete this final installation work.
Step 7: Final Inspection and Clean-Up
Before we consider your El Paso bathroom remodeling project complete, we do a final walkthrough with you. We want to make sure everything meets your expectations and that every detail is perfect. If you notice anything that needs to be fixed or adjusted, we’ll take care of it right away.
We also give your bathroom a full professional clean-up so it’s sparkling and ready to use.
Please note that every home is different, and special features or custom work may take a little longer.
