The Complete Bathroom Renovation Timeline: What to Expect
Renovating your bathroom can be an exciting process, but understanding the general timeline will help you know what to expect and how to prepare for each stage. Every project is unique, but most bathroom renovations follow a similar pattern. Here’s a breakdown of the key phases you’ll go through as you transform your bathroom into a beautiful, functional space with ACE Construction & Remodeling.
Planning and Design – The first step in your renovation journey is planning. This phase is crucial for setting goals, selecting materials, and finalizing your design. During this stage the scope of work is outlines that you can get clear idea of what to expect. The planning phase also includes securing permits, finalizing budgets, and choosing all the fixtures, finishes, and design details.
Demolition – Once the design is set, the old bathroom needs to be cleared to make room for the new. Demolition involves removing outdated tiles, fixtures, cabinetry, and other components. This stage is often noisy and messy, but it’s a necessary step to prepare the space for the new design elements.
Plumbing and Electrical Work – If your renovation includes changes to the plumbing or electrical systems—such as moving pipes or adding outlets—this is when those updates take place. These changes are essential for supporting new fixtures or layouts and ensure that everything is working efficiently and safely.
Structural Work and Repairs – If your renovation involves structural changes, such as moving walls, adding windows, or addressing issues like water damage, this work will coincide with the plumbing and electrical work. Structural repairs are typically completed before any finishing touches are added to the space.
Installation of Finishes and Fixtures – With all the major work complete, it’s time to install the finishes that will bring your design vision to life. New flooring, tiles, vanities, countertops, and other fixtures are installed during this phase. The bathroom starts to take shape, and the space begins to feel more functional and inviting.
Painting and Final Touches – Now for the color and the finishing touches. This phase involves painting the walls, adding mirrors, accessories, and any other decorative elements that will complete the look of your bathroom. The final details ensure that the space feels cohesive and polished.
Inspection and Walkthrough – Before wrapping up the project, a final inspection is conducted, if required, to ensure that everything has been completed correctly and according to your design specifications. You’ll have the opportunity to do a walkthrough with your contractor, review the work, and ask any final questions.
