Bathroom contractors will give theirs, the customers will measure them against their expectations, a friend of the customers will say that the contractor\u2019s estimate is way too long and urge them to seek a second opinion and so on. In the end, all of the opinions will collide \u2013 and you\u2019ll end up not knowing who to believe.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can always <strong>trust your contractor\u2019s estimate<\/strong>. After all, contractors have the expertise and the experience to give you a somewhat precise estimate. However, contractors sometimes don\u2019t agree with each other in how much time does it take to remodel a bathroom. You know why that is? Because there are a lot of factors that can influence how much time is needed.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, the total time will depend on <strong>how deep your bathroom remodeling project will go<\/strong>. If you just want minor aesthetic changes, a few days should be enough. But if you\u2019re thinking about a larger project (one that involves plumbing or tile work), then the equation gets more complicated. To fully understand how much time it can take, let\u2019s break down a complete bathroom remodel project into smaller parts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Demolition<\/strong> \u2013 normally takes <strong>2 days<\/strong> to remove and clean everything. Keep in mind, though, that such time can be extended if moving materials out is harder than normal (a bathroom on a second story)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plumbing<\/strong> \u2013 between 1 and <strong>2 days<\/strong> in normal conditions and depending on bathroom size. If you\u2019re going to move the tub and toilet, then definitely consider the 2 days for your estimate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>1 day<\/strong>. Bathrooms usually don\u2019t need much work in the electrical department. A few lights and sockets is all you\u2019ll probably need, a work that takes no more than a few hours to a good electrician<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insulation<\/strong> \u2013 a key component on any bathroom, a fast insulation job is usually done in <strong>a day<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drywall<\/strong> \u2013 once the insulation is up, it\u2019s time to go ahead by hanging drywall, which will certainly take a day of your project. Once that\u2019s done, it\u2019ll be the time to finish the drywall (i.e. applying joint compound, letting dry and sanding), which means you\u2019ll have to add at least <strong>2 more days<\/strong> to your count.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flooring<\/strong> \u2013 depends on the floor you\u2019ve chosen. If you are going the way of the vinyl, then half a day should do it. Tiles and engineered wood will certainly take more, sometimes up to <strong>2 days<\/strong> to finish<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cabinetry<\/strong> \u2013 bathroom cabinets are usually finished quickly since there isn\u2019t much work here anyway. Add <strong>1 day<\/strong>to your estimate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixtures<\/strong> \u2013 probably one of the easiest and swiftest works on any bathroom remodel, installing them shouldn\u2019t take more than <strong>a day<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contingencies<\/strong> \u2013 Add <strong>2 days<\/strong> to your estimate just in case. You\u2019ll never know what problems you might bump into that can delay your remodel. It\u2019s better to be prepared from the get-go than to suffer during the project. Besides, if you end up not needing these extra days, you\u2019ll be glad that your bathroom is completed sooner than you think!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A few extra considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve done the math with the numbers above, you\u2019ll see that, according to it, a bathroom remodel should be finished in <strong>roughly two weeks<\/strong>. However, there are other things that we haven\u2019t discussed yet that can make your remodel take a little more time.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the above didn\u2019t consider the <strong>rough carpentry<\/strong>, just because not every bathroom needs it (your current bathroom may have a solid underlying structure that\u2019s better left untouched). In case you need to replace that, you\u2019ll be looking to 2 extra days.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, we also didn\u2019t take <strong>tilework<\/strong> into account, because some people chose not to do so. But if you do, then you\u2019ll be needing 3 more days. That\u2019s because all tilework-related tasks are pretty similar to those of the drywall \u2013 applying, drying \u2013 that takes some waiting time.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, \u00a0you\u2019ll have a huge factor we don\u2019t want to overlook here \u2013 <strong>size<\/strong>. Size is a defining factor for estimating the time of a remodel. A large bathroom can extend some of the times stated above, while a smaller bathroom might cut them. However, that\u2019s not always the case. A large bathroom can fit more people working at the same time, while a smaller bathroom might not give you this possibility.<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">&#8211;\u00a0Treeium<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Interested in starting a bathroom\u00a0remodeling project?\u00a0Contact <a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Long Does a Bathroom Remodeling Project Last?
