When it comes to upgrades in your home, you want to invest in ways that will count. According to Architectural Digest, homeowners’ median spending increased 20% from $15,000 in 2020 to $18,000 in 2021. If you’re considering where to put your money, bathroom upgrades are always a good choice. An updated bathroom can increase your home’s value, quality, and attractiveness. Let’s look at a few questions you should ask a bathroom contractor if you want to update your bathroom.

1. How Long Have You Been in Business?

It’s perfectly appropriate for you to ask your contractor some questions before you hire them. Remember, this is an investment you’re making in your home. You need to know that you'll receive quality work that enhances your home. The amount of time a company has been in business is a good indicator of how much experience they have.

2. Do You Have References?

This is another great question. A reputable business will have references that they are happy to share with you of past work they have done for clients. You should follow up with this information and actually contact these references and review pictures of the work.

3. Can You Do the Upgrades I Want?

Don’t assume that every bathroom contractor in the world can do every type of upgrade. If you are looking for very specialized work, it’s good to ask upfront if the business can even provide those services. If they can’t, that’s okay. For example, while our team handles everything from designing to installation, other contractors may only offer the handiwork that comes with installation. If they don't offer what you need, you should just move on to a contractor that can.

4. Is My Budget Reasonable?

Homeowners often get shy when it comes to talking about money. However, this is a very important question. When you design your space, go over all elements of the bathroom. This includes materials, fixtures, and piping. You want all work to remain within a budget you've decided upon.
