A bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home—both for comfort and resale value. But the success of your project depends entirely on choosing the right contractor. A skilled, reputable professional can turn your vision into reality. The wrong contractor, however, can turn your renovation into a costly nightmare.
Here’s how to choose a contractor you can trust, what red flags to avoid, and five essential questions every homeowner should ask before signing a contract.
A trustworthy contractor should have a strong track record with the Better Business Bureau. Look for companies with an A or A+ rating, which signals a history of honest business practices, timely resolution of customer concerns, and overall trustworthy performance.
Online reviews are powerful indicators of what you can expect when working with a bathroom remodeling company. Pay attention not just to star ratings, but also to the details:
Look for patterns—consistent praise or repeated complaints will tell you a lot. Check verified platforms like TrustPilot and the BBB.
A legitimate bathroom contractor should carry:
This protects you from liability and ensures the company follows required building codes.
An experienced contractor will proudly share photos or references from previous bathroom remodels. Look for a style and quality level that matches what you want!
Premier Home Pros has trusted and experienced design consultants that will guide you through the process and help you pick and choose the designs that fit your needs.
If a contractor is vague, evasive, or refuses to put details in writing, that’s a major red flag.
There are a few red flags that should make you think twice when hiring a bathroom remodeler. Be cautious if:
If a quote seems too good to be true, it usually is. Low bids often lead to shortcuts, poor-quality materials, or surprise charges later.
A reputable business should have a website, business listings, and a traceable physical location. Check Google Business Profiles for reviews and company information, as well as other home improvement directories like Angi and HomeAdvisor.
Verbal agreements offer zero protection. Always insist on a complete written contract.
If a contractor can’t share past clients or projects, proceed with caution. A reputable, trustworthy remodeler will be happy to share his or her references with potential clients.
Hiring a bathroom remodeler is a big decision. Before making your choice, ask these key questions:
This ensures your contractor is operating legally and responsibly.
A portfolio of past work is key when selecting a bathroom contractor. After all, your home is your sanctuary, and you want to choose a company that stands behind their work! Seeing real examples of their craftsmanship helps build trust.
Understand what the process and timeline look like upfront. An experienced bathroom remodeling company will walk you through the process from design consultation to ordering your materials and installation, so you can feel comfortable moving forward.
Knowing how long the project will take helps you plan and sets clear expectations.
This helps avoid surprise costs. A quality contractor will explain what’s included and what might incur extra charges.
The right contractor brings expertise, reliability, and clear communication to your bathroom remodel. By reviewing their BBB rating, reading homeowner reviews, verifying credentials, and asking the right questions, you can confidently choose a professional who will deliver the results you expect.
