Bathroom Renovation FAQs

We get it – there are a lot of questions about starting a bathroom renovation project. Here’s a list of helpful questions and answers as you start planning for your bathroom reno.

Still have a question? Check out our Construction Process page or better yet connect with our friendly team.

Once we have the plans and permits in place, the actual construction process should take around 10 weeks.

It’s easy to stay in your home during a bathroom renovation if you have a secondary bathroom to use during the process. If we are renovating your only bathroom, we would need to get creative. Maybe consider bringing in a portable bathroom for your family to use while construction is taking place.

Once your project starts, one of our trusted Project Managers will oversee it. They will be your point person for all construction issues, questions and weekly client meetings.  You will also have access to the entire contracting team through the company software. Plus, access to an office manager for any financial questions and project updates.

We focus on good planning and work hard to have great communication and openness with our clients. Client selections are all documented on our communication software, along with providing budget updates every two weeks. Our end goal is to always give our clients a successful project and we work hard to build that into our approach as a team.

Yes, if your project involves significant alterations. Wall modifications or other substantial changes within the bathroom require a municipal city permit.  We’ll help assist you through this process and handle the entire permit application procedure on your behalf.

Absolutely. Planning and design are the most critical phases of a successful renovation.  We have great relationships with designers and drafting teams to help you start the process. Coleridge Construction will work with you to help you understand your renovation desires, goals, and priorities.

Yes, we do. We stand by you every step of the way, from project inception to completion.  Leveraging our relationships with local vendors and trade partners,  we assist in navigating your selections. Throughout the entire renovation journey, we serve as your guides, orchestrating the involvement of our reliable tradespeople and in-house team until the project reaches its conclusion.

For the best use of your space, we recommend bringing in a designer to help you visually see the space you are trying to create. We have great relationships with local designers and will help connect you with them to help design your space.

We are very open to using a wide variety of bathroom materials and are not partial to any supplier or manufacturer. However, we value using our trusted vendors as we have witnessed too many horror stories of using ultra-cheap and unreputable vendors that don’t stand behind their products.  

While our standard practice may not always include specifying eco-friendly or sustainable materials, we remain fully open to their use. Throughout the planning process, we can assess your preferences and needs. If deemed beneficial, we’re happy to present a range of eco-conscious options for consideration.

Every bathroom design can be customized to your needs. Whether it’s a custom walk-in shower, an on-demand shower, or a corner glass-walled shower, we can help you get the design you want.

We use moisture-resistant drywall or cement board in areas prone to direct water contact. Our team also uses waterproof membranes behind tiles in the shower and on the floor,  along with water-resistant flooring materials, such as tile or vinyl.

At Coleridge Construction, we offer a 24-month warranty on all exterior cladding, caulking, windows and doors. We also provide a 12-month warranty for all electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and Interior finishing.
