Questions to Ask a Bathroom Remodeler

Who is responsible for what?

Ask who will be your point of contact, who performs plumbing and electrical work, which portions are subcontracted, and who obtains required permits.

What is included in the price?

Clarify demolition, disposal, protection, fixtures, finish materials, labor, permit fees, delivery, cleanup and any allowances. An estimate is easier to compare when exclusions are explicit.

How are changes handled?

Ask for the change-order process before demolition begins. Changes should be documented with the added or reduced scope, price and schedule impact.

What documentation should I verify?

For Massachusetts home-improvement work, homeowners can use the state's contractor resources and HIC lookup. Depending on scope, other licenses may be relevant. Verify credentials instead of relying on a logo or verbal claim.
