Key takeaways
- Design and ordering come before demolition
- Plumbing and waterproofing happen before tile
- Glass and custom pieces are made after tile is finished
- Having a spare bathroom makes the project easier
Remodels move in a predictable order. Knowing the order helps you plan your life around the work and understand why some days look quiet.
Design and ordering
Before any work starts, choices are made and products are ordered. Tile, vanities, glass and fixtures can take time to arrive, so this stage sets the schedule more than anything else.
Demolition and rough-in
The old materials come out and plumbing, wiring and framing are updated. This is the noisy, dusty part, and it is also when hidden problems show up, so we check carefully.
Waterproofing and tile
Showers and floors are waterproofed, then tiled and grouted. Each step needs time to cure, which is why a good tile job cannot be rushed.
Fixtures, glass and finish
Vanity, fixtures, lighting and glass come last. Frameless glass is made after final measurements, so it often arrives later than everything else.
