3. Design and selections
- What you do

5. Build
- What you do
- Clear the room and the path to it. Keep pets and kids out of the work area.
- What we do
- Protect floors, demolish, rough in, pass inspection, waterproof and flood-test, tile, install, clean daily, and send a short update every evening. Final walk-through and warranty at the end.
- What can slip
- Hidden damage behind walls. If we find it, we stop, show you and price it in writing before fixing it.
The build, day by day
Working days, Monday to Saturday, after materials are on site. Inspections are scheduled by the city and can shift a step by a day or two.
