Six Months Ahead

The perfect renovation project depends on the right timing. You can start planning around six months prior to the start of your renovation. You can begin by:

Gathering design and layout inspiration, which you can narrow down and choose from later on.
Talking to a trusted bathroom remodeler in your area. Highly rated remodelers’ schedules fill up quickly because of their good reputation, so it’s best to consult with one early on and get your slot reserved.

Three Months Ahead

At this point, you should have already finalized your decision to renovate your bathroom. Make sure that you…

Finalize your budget and include some money extra as a cushion.
Hire a reliable contractor, approve the proposed design plan and finalize the contract.

Two Months Ahead

The ball will now start rolling. Around this time, these things should be happening:

Sourcing, ordering and purchasing materials.
Sorting out last-minute changes and additions.
Finalizing details.

One Month Ahead to the Final Days

Finally! You will soon be enjoying your newly renovated bathroom. At this point, you should work closely with your contractor to make sure that everything goes according to plan. It will help for you to familiarize yourself with the process and project timeline, so you know what to expect.
