A successful bathroom remodel starts with a clear scope. Decide early: cosmetic refresh or full gut renovation. Demo first, then rough plumbing/electrical (requires inspection), then waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work.
💡 Pro Tip: Order ALL materials before demo day. A bathroom remodel typically takes 2-3 weeks and you cannot use that bathroom during construction.
