Bathroom Remodeling in Chicago

We start with a rough estimate for your bathroom remodeling Chicago project, which we can usually give you over the phone or in person as a general range. For a more detailed estimate, typically within 20-30% of the final price, we'll schedule a visit to your home to see the space and chat about the project in detail. Please note that detailed estimates involve a fee that can be applied to your design rate.

According to our process, a typical bathroom remodel in Chicago can last anywhere from 4-8weeks, with an average of 4-5 weeks, depending on the type of project. This does not include design, planning, material delivery times, permitting, inspections, and other expected milestones. This is a standard timeline, however please note that there are many other factors that could influence a schedule and cause unexpected delays. We do our best to keep you constantly informed and be active in the process to forecast delays and work around them.

We use design-build: one team for design and construction. This means a smoother process from chatting about your vision and creating detailed plans (including 3D views) to expert construction and final inspection. It's efficient and keeps everyone on the same page. To learn more about how we do bathroom remodels in Chicago, click here.

With a bathroom design-build firm, instead of hiring separate designers and contractors (and managing them yourself!), they handle everything like ours - from the initial consultation and design to the final construction of your bathroom remodel Chicago project. This saves you time, reduces communication hassles, bringing your vision to life with one dedicated team to handle it all.

An estimate is an educated, conceptual budget with figures derived from similar projects in size, scope, area, and materials. It is not a guarantee that this will be your final price. It may be higher or lower.

A fixed price contract can only be provided after design plans are completed, all material has been selected, project expectations and responsibilities outlined (such as who is ordering the material), and tradesmen have had a chance to see the site.

We can provide a rough estimate, usually given over the phone or in person as a range or a detailed estimate that is usually within 20-30% of the fixed price. Detailed estimates are provided after site visits and usually come with a fee that can be applied to your design rate as a deposit if we are selected as our design and build team.

Besides the benefits we listed above your alternatives are:

– Doing the project yourself, finding and contractors, ordering, receiving materials, scheduling correctly, and coordinating your contractors, architect and designer to work together and that they’re playing nice. You’d need a license to do this, you take all financial and legal responsibilities, and you will basically need to treat it like a full time job.

– You can hire an architect/designer and general contractor or kitchen remodeling company separately, you’d be responsible for communicating to both parties what is needed, and making sure that your decisions will not make your price inflate. You assume most of the responsibility financially and legally.

– You can hire a design-build firm, pay the nearly the same as you would for hiring both individually, and offset the responsiblity and communication by having one party take charge of bringing your vision to life.

First, take some time to think or talk it over with your partner. What are your needs, desires, and wish list? What is the maximum you are willing to invest in your dream kitchen? Why are you remodeling? What are your minimum requirements – do you absolutely have to get rid of your floors or cabinets? What do you love about the existing space? What can you keep in your kitchen? When do you need to have this done by? These questions are important because the inform us what we can and can’t do. If the maximum you are willing to invest is $20,000, you will only be able to replace a few items. We can help make the kitchen feel brand new, but there will still be elements of the old space.

Next, create a pinterest for your inspiration. This helps us see the vision you’re trying to bring to life and sets us on the right path. Follow us here for ideas on what you can do.

Finally, the day of make sure the space is as cleared as possible. This allows us to see things that might not have been visible in our initial digital conversations. Be ready to be asked thought provoking questions, and have your partner or other decision maker with you to save time and headaches later on.
