How long does a bathroom remodeling project typically take?

The duration of a bathroom remodeling project depends on various factors such as the scope of work, size of the bathroom, and the complexity of the changes. Generally, a small to medium-sized bathroom remodel can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months.

How much does a bathroom remodeling project cost?

The cost of a bathroom remodel varies widely depending on factors such as the extent of the renovations, materials used, fixtures, and labor costs. It’s best to obtain multiple quotes from reputable contractors to get a better estimate based on your specific requirements.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

In many cases, a permit is required for bathroom remodeling projects that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. It’s essential to check with your local building department to determine the specific permit requirements for your area.

Should I hire a professional contractor for my bathroom remodel?

Hiring a professional contractor is highly recommended for a bathroom remodel. They have the expertise, experience, and necessary licenses to ensure the project is completed safely and up to code. Additionally, contractors can provide guidance, access to suppliers, and manage the entire remodeling process efficiently.

Can I remodel my bathroom while staying within my budget?

Yes, it’s possible to remodel your bathroom within your budget. Start by determining your budget and prioritize the key aspects of the remodel. Make choices that align with your financial limitations, such as opting for cost-effective materials or focusing on essential renovations rather than luxury upgrades.

How can I maximize storage space in my bathroom?

There are various ways to maximize storage space in a bathroom. Consider adding built-in shelves, cabinets, or vanity units to efficiently utilize vertical space. Utilize storage solutions like organizers, baskets, or wall-mounted racks to keep toiletries and essentials organized. Additionally, opting for a vanity with drawers or installing a medicine cabinet can provide additional storage options.

What are some popular trends in bathroom design?

Popular trends in bathroom design include open-concept showers, freestanding bathtubs, minimalist aesthetics, natural materials like stone or wood, and energy-efficient fixtures. However, it’s important to choose design elements that suit your personal style and preferences rather than solely following trends.

How can I make my bathroom more energy-efficient?

To make your bathroom more energy-efficient, consider installing low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads to reduce water consumption. Use LED or energy-efficient lighting fixtures, and opt for insulated windows to improve energy efficiency. Proper insulation and ventilation can also help regulate temperature and reduce energy waste.

What should I do with mold or mildew in my bathroom?

Mold or mildew in the bathroom can be a health hazard and should be addressed promptly. It’s best to consult with a professional to assess the extent of the problem and provide appropriate remediation solutions. Proper ventilation, regular cleaning, and maintaining low humidity levels can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Can I change the layout of my bathroom during a remodel?

Changing the layout of a bathroom is possible during a remodel, but it may involve more extensive work and incur additional costs. Modifying the plumbing, electrical, or structural components of the bathroom requires careful planning and professional expertise. Consulting with a contractor can help determine the feasibility of changing the layout based on your specific space and requirements.

Everybody was super helpful and the whole thing went off without a hitch. You guys really are perfectionists and it shows.

I plan on recommending you to everyone I know. Many thanks for a job well done.

Our project manager, Ronen, was a pleasure to work with. We had a total home renovation and he provided creative design ideas and sought best prices with vendors where he was able. Our site foreman, Alex, and his crews were there six days a week to meet deadlines. Their work was professional and efficient. Everyone was responsive.

We contacted Unique Builders to remodel a 1980s primary bathroom. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Ronen was amazing! He had great ideas, drew up a wonderful design, and was able to work within our budget. The crew could not have been better--they were very talented and respectful of us, our schedule, and our property. Ronen responded quickly to every question, email, and text that I sent, and his foreman on the job was the same.I highly recommend this company!

Ronen and his team completed our dream kitchen! Ronen is the best project manager one can ever have. He and the team demonstrated what are professional and experience. They listened to all of our needs and overachieved everything. They are super responsive and responsible: we requested things here and there throughout the process, and they remembered them ALL and reflected the next day accordingly. This is definitely the dream team you can ever have to do any renovation project. Highly... recommended!read more

This is our second remodel project with Unique. I can't recommend these guys enough. Their design team created a beautiful plan and their construction team (Alex) and GC (Scott) were amazing in executing the plan. What I love most is not everything went as planned but any issues and concerns were addressed and corrected. The carpet in our son's room was stained. The plastic tore and construction dust and feet stained it. Scott had it cleaned and it didn't come up so they had it replaced. No... arguments from them.They are not the cheapest, but they justify their price with their work.My wife and I are extremely happy with Unique and will use them again if we have any other home remodeling needs.read more

We reached out to Unique Builders for an attic conversion project we had in mind. Ronen came out to the house to see what we could get with our home layout and provide some ideas on what we could do with the space. The team was great to work with, was accommodating with changes on the fly as we got into the project, and tried to minimize the impact of construction on the rest of the house. We are very happy with our finished project and the space we have that was once just unfinished attic... space.read more

We have hired Unique Builders and Development to remodel our kitchen and laundry with Ronen Kinhofer as the project manager. This is actually the second time we have them. Last year they did our garage renovation and we were very pleased so we decided to go with them again. Once again we were not disappointed. We had first a couple of iteration of kitchen design on paper. Then once the construction started, all went smooth and quickly. The project was delivered on time and as per budget. Ronen... was always available and open to our last minute changes. Also even with the project officially finished, Ronen continued to support us for a couple of after care issue to make sure we were happy and all was perfect.Thank you again Ronen and your team for a well executed project!read more

From the first meeting to the completion of our remodel we were not only impressed but grateful for the professionalism and excellent workmanship we experienced. Our designer, Ronen, listened to our needs and provided us with a beautiful kitchen and dining/living area. All the contractors were courteous and on time every day. Would recommend 100%!!

Great experience in the show room and got the project done extremely timely.Very communicative with updates.Higher on the price end but high quality and didn’t feel like i needed to micro manage or be involved to make sure the work got done.

We hired Unique Builders to remodel our kitchen. We chose them over others we had talked to because we felt more comfortable with their business model for such an undertaking. As opposed to having a salesperson make initial contact, we liked the fact that the person who comes out to make the first contact to discuss the vision and provide a quote/estimate is also the Project Manager. This protocol ensures excellent continuity, communication, and accountability from beginning to end. Ronan... K. was our PM and he and his team did an excellent job from initial design to the minor details for completion. Ronan and his team, especially Eddie and Leo who were onsite every day, are very knowledgeable, responsive, easy to work with and follow through on their commitments without delay. We love our new kitchen and highly recommend you consider Unique Builders for your project.read more

We recently used Unique Builders and Development to design, extend and remodel our kitchen, modify floor elevations in our dining & living room and replacing all first story flooring. This included designing the new visually aesthetic roof elevation, removing and extending the outside walls, adding custom cabinetry to match existing, electrical, plumbing and tiling. Scott Reach, who was our project manager, was fantastic to work with and Alex Diaz and his team went above and beyond to make sure... that the final project exceeded our expectations for our dream kitchen. Their attention to the details and understanding of what our vision was really made the final project successful. We would highly recommend Unique Builders, Scott Reach and Alex Diaz to others for the excellent craftmanship and quality !!!read more

After dealing with a leaky shower for a few years, I finally have the bathroom of my dreams! My husband and I decided to go with Unique Builders for a complete bathroom overhaul after talking to four different companies and we are so glad we did! We highly recommend Scott Reach, who was our project manager. He was very professional, communicative, punctual and went out of his way to ensure we were satisfied from start to finish. His tiler, Chuy, is very experienced and has great attention to... detail. It also helps that he always showed up smiling and happy to explain whatever he was working on -- as I work from home and always wanted to stick my nose in and see how it was going 🙂 The entire crew was great -- and it was really helpful to have Anna, their designer, help with tile choices, grout color, plumbing and light fixtures, etc. We will definitely use Unique Builders again on future projects!read more

We used Unique Builders to remodel our bathroom in October 2021 and were so pleased with the results that we rehired them for a outdoor patio project that was completed March 2022. This project was to take space from our 3 car garage and create a covered patio area in the backyard that never existed before. This included framing, rewiring, moving pipes, removing a brick wall, and installing a beam for structural integrity.Ronen, the project manager, listened to our needs and offered great... design ideas! Some design suggestions were a little out of our comfort zone, but Ronen is good about explaining the vision as well as finding alternative material/color options that reflected our style while staying true to the overall "rustic chic" design project aesthetic. We felt very supported the entire time. Ronen was always quick to answer all queries immediately and frequently visited the site to ensure the project was progressing on time and following the design plan.We specifically requested the same crew (Javier Lara and Team) for this project. Javier Lara and his team are super friendly, professional and reliable. The crew showed up every day at the exact same time to work and would leave around 5:00-6:00pm. They are efficient and also offered helpful alternative project suggestions we ended up incorporating to change the original design plan into an even better one! And the estimated 6-8 week remodel was completed AHEAD OF SCHEDULE in just 3.5 weeks!!! And it would have been completed sooner except we had to wait for a few parts delayed in shipping and delivery due to global supply chain issues. The patio turned out great and overall good quality and workmanship. Very pleased with the results!!!read more

Alex Diaz is a great asset to this company. He did a great job remodeling our master bath and living room. It is so refreshing working with someone that cares about the quality of his work and very professional in his work and communication. We were very impressed by his attitude and availability at all times to keep us informed about the scope and timing of the project.I highly recommend Alex for any residential remodel.

We contacted Unique Builders for our master bathroom and master closet remodel and could not be happier. They did an amazing job transforming our dated 1970's bathroom into a relaxing, modern oasis. Ronen K. was our project manager who was wonderful to work with. Everyone on the crew was very professional and did a great job. I now have the bathroom I've been dreaming of for the past 10 years.

From Design to completion of our total kitchen remodel, we couldn't be happier with Unique Builders. Beautifully done herringbone tile backsplash and quartz countertops, including 11'x5' island. Ronen was professional and easy to work with. Finished on time and on budget. We're also appreciative of Anna's ideas at the design center. Highly recommend to others and will hire again to do our next project.

We had busted pipes from the February freeze, a large amount of damage needed to be repaired/replaced.

We are very happy with the finished project. I would recommend using Unique for any remodeling jobs.

To make a very long story short, this company provided home repairs following the 2021 February freeze. We had the floors and a couple of walls and ceilings replaced due to water damage. The contractor refused to start the work until the entirety of the scope of work was approved through insurance causing us to live out of our home under construction with a new born who was born days before the contractor finally started work in late April. The estimate they provided was not at all the work... they performed. Our contractor said the line items not performed were added in lieu of an additional estimate for work we asked to get done outside of our insurance claim and as an upgrade to what insurance was covering (carpet to wood floors). I believe this is called insurance fraud. I asked for the estimate to be corrected to show what was actually performed with an additional estimate for what we asked to be done in addition, but never received this. They originally said they would perform mold testing to determine if additional walls needed replacement, but this never occurred to our knowledge. Even the mold we visually found was not removed properly nor according to how the estimate said it was handled. The contractor only walked our home twice and we were left to supervise the work of the sub contractors and coordinate issues. We even pointed out items left unfinished or performed poorly, but nothing was done to resolve this. While we continued to fight with insurance for payment of all the work they unnecessarily added on, Unique threatened to send us to collections. If we weren’t in the process of buying and selling our home, I would have risked collections and sent them to court. Utterly disappointed in the level of unprofessionalism from this company.read more

I really wanted to use this company to do our remodel but after visiting my house the contractor, Matt, wouldn't reply to my wife. really frustrating because he did text back twice but took a week to reply and then said he sent a quote to my email (he didn't) and when I asked him to check the email address he again ghosted us.I would say he seemed knowledgeable and professional but im actually super upset with the lack of communication. If he didn't want to do our house that's okay we just... wish we weren't waiting on him considering wee are moving in a hotel right now waisting time.read more

Called Unique Builders after the freeze because we had some pipes bust in our house. They were quick to respond when a lot of other places didn't respond at all. They showed up when they said they would, were professional and did a great job with the repairs. We were so impressed with them, we decided to use them to do some remodeling around the house.

We contracted Unique Builders to renovate our kitchen in July 2020. Ronen K was our project manager. The job required a complete rebuild of the kitchen, removing posts, walls and installing new posts and beam. Ronen spent a considerable amount of time working with my wife and I on the design of the kitchen, providing us various options to maximize the space, the kind of materials we could use and recommendations on the appliances. The project lasted about nine weeks which was attributable to us... changing the scope of the work to include other areas of the house which Unique had no problem including into the project. They ensured every detail was covered. When an issue came up, Ronen was there to resolve it quickly. The result was a beautiful better functioning kitchen with an open concept. We would highly recommend Unique Builders and Ronen as your project manager.read more

UNPROFESSIONAL! Awful service! Their employee, Ronan, was crazy and tried to force us to sign a contract on their first visit and won’t leave respectfully! He us feel very uncomfortable. When we told him we were going to hire him he threw a fit like a 5 year old. He said that whoever we hire will mess it up and we’ll have to call him to fix it. That is definitely not the case. Extremely happy we did not hire them. STAY AWAY!

Since my mom was turning 76, I needed to make my mom’s bathroom (the master bathroom) handicap-friendly and wanted to update the design a bit at the same time. From the initial estimate and design with Jeremy to the final execution, they were absolutely professional and easy to work with. We had to widen a bathroom door and move and expand the shower, along with moving some storage capacity. Well, before the process even began, my mom ended up having a stroke. I chose to use Unique instead of... the other contractors I had spoken to because of their reputation. Their bid was a little bit higher, but I knew that it was worth it to me to choose a firm that would do a quality, no-hassle job. With Mom so ill, I needed this remodel to be as easy as possible.I’m so glad I chose them..the work they did was gorgeous, they handled the inevitable changes with grace, and the one little post-construction issue I found was resolved the same day. They helped me strike an ideal balance between having handicapped features and updating the design.read more

Unique Did an excellent job. Management kept in touch and the crew was experienced and did an excellent job. Each day they let us know what was to be done that day and checked at the end of the day to make sure we were satisfied with the work.

They showed up early and worked late to get the job complete. I would highly recommend them and plan to use... them for future projects. ??read more
