The Process of Bathroom Remodeling on the CONNECTICUT shoreline

Every remodel starts with a detailed plan to ensure we capture your vision while staying on schedule and within budget. Below is an overview of the bathroom remodeling process with Craft Design + Build.

1. Initial Consultation and Design Planning

This step comes first in the bathroom remodeling journey. We'll discuss your vision, needs, and budget to align our plans with your goals. This initial stage ensures we're on the same page about expectations and your design directions.

2. Detailed Design and Preconstruction

We then move into refining your design with collaborative meetings and firm planning. In this phase, we'll make our final selections, discuss them with engineers, and finalize all necessary drawings. With a strong focus on preconstruction planning, we aim to leave nothing to interpretation, ensuring a frictionless remodel from start to finish.

3. Measure Meeting

During this phase, our team will visit your home to take precise measurements and assess the existing conditions. This step ensures that the final construction drawings are accurate and precise to minimize mishaps.

4. Redline Meeting

In this meeting, we'll review the initial design concepts with you and adjust them based on your feedback. This collaborative approach ensures that the design reflects your requirements and meets all your standards.

5. Selections Meeting

Next, you’ll work with our selection specialist to choose the finishes and materials to bring your vision to life. There's no price markup on your selections, so feel free to choose the high-end fixtures and luxury materials that fit your preferences.

6. Engineering and Construction Drawings

If your Connecticut bathroom remodel involves structural changes, we will consult with engineers to ensure the revisions are safe and compliant. We'll then create detailed construction drawings to guide the build process, ensuring everything aligns with local codes and regulations.

7. Trades Day

Before construction begins, we'll invite our trusted trade partners to walk through the project, finalize plans, and ensure all team members' schedules are aligned. This coordination is critical to keeping your remodel on track.

8. Build Agreement

Think of your build agreement as a guide through the construction phase. This document is made once everything is planned and outlines the remodel scope, costs, and timeline. 

9. Construction Phase

The construction phase is where your vision comes to life. As our skilled team works, we'll keep the site clean while adhering to the agreed-upon timeline. Open communication is a priority here, and you’ll receive daily updates via our project management app, ensuring you're always in the loop.

10. Final Walk-Through and Project Completion

Once construction is complete, we'll conduct a final walk-through to ensure every detail meets your expectations. We address any final adjustments, and with a 5-year warranty, you can trust that our commitment to quality craftsmanship extends beyond the project’s end.

What Impacts the Bathroom Remodeling Timeline?

In Connecticut, a bathroom remodel timeline can be impacted by several factors. Here are some of the most common elements to keep in mind:

Bathroom Size

A larger bathroom will naturally take more time to remodel, as there is more square footage to account for in terms of tiling, fixtures, and layout changes.

Quantity and Complexity of Tile Installation

The more intricate the tile pattern, the longer it will take to install. Some custom tile designs can significantly extend the timeline, but the results are always worth the wait. 

PLUMBING ACCESS FOR ROUGH-INS

Rough-in plumbing runs water, drain, and vent lines through walls, floors, and ceilings to connect your fixtures. Easy access to these areas above and below the bathroom is key for a smooth installation, especially if pipes need to be moved or added. Planning ahead on this step helps prevent delays and keeps your remodel on track.

Curing Times for Materials

Regardless of the size of your bathroom and the complexity of your tile design, certain phases of the remodel are dictated by the curing times required for materials like drywall, tile mortar, and grout. We don't risk rushing this step to ensure the durability and flawless finish of your remodel. 

Plumbing and Electrical Layout Changes

Any changes to the existing plumbing or electrical system will add time to your remodel. These changes can include moving a shower, adding lighting, or adding heated floors.

Structural Changes

If your remodel involves structural alterations, such as removing a wall to expand the bathroom, this will also expand your timeline.
