By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on 5 tips to Selecting an Orange County Bathroom Contractor

One of the best ways to increase the value and beauty of your home is with a kitchen or bathroom remodel. It’s also one place where things can go wrong, horribly wrong. That’s why you want to be in good hands when you pick an Orange County Bathroom Contractor.

Look for Extensive Plumbing Experience

It’s very important to select a contractor with extensive experience in plumbing and bathroom fixtures. For an experienced Orange County bathroom contractor, moving tubs, sinks, and showers is just part of the bathroom remodel job. That means they only work with qualified and skilled plumbers with extensive experience. You can have the sleekest finishes and the most modern touches, but if your fixtures leak or your water pressure is too low, looks don’t matter. Bathrooms must function. Your general contractor is only as good as the trades they subcontract out, so ask about their experience in plumbing.

Also make sure your bathroom contractor and their subcontractors are well versed in the local building code as well. You want to pass inspections at each stage so you can proceed to the next.

Only Hire a Licensed Bathroom Contractor

The State of California does not issue a “bathroom contractor” license. But you will want to check and make sure the company you hire is a licensed contractor. You can use the State of California’s Check a License on-line database to check to see if your contractor is licensed, if they are bonded, and if they carry worker’s compensation insurance. In addition, civil judgments and public complaints associated with the contractor will also be disclosed as part of the license status. Most bathroom contractors will be licensed as General Contractors.

Recommendations – Reviews

You ask friends, family, and neighbors for recommendations about restaurants and yelp-logo-smallmovies. Why wouldn’t you ask them for a recommendation for a bathroom contractor? That’s great if your friends or family have done a bathroom remodel, not so great if they haven’t.

You can look on-line. You go to Yelp to check everything else, why not go there to check for reviews for an Orange County or Mission Viejo bathroom contractor. Post a shout out on your FaceBook page and see what type of response you get.

Once you narrow down a selection and have quotes, be sure to ask for referrals. Any good bathroom contractor will be more than happy to provide references.

Ability to Convert Vision to Reality

A good bathroom contractor can do much more than just follow your directions to implement changes in the bathroom. Your bathroom contractor should be able to guide you through selecting design elements that will achieve your goals and keep you on budget. If you only have a very vague idea of the changes you want, you need a bathroom contractor that can take your ideas and turn them into a design that meets your approval and your expectations. A full service bathroom contractor will offer design as part of their portfolio of services.

Pick a Partner

When you undertake any remodel operation in your house, understand that it is going to turn your living environment upside down. Most remodels don’t happen in 30 minutes like you see on TV. They can take weeks. That’s why you want to select a bathroom contractor that you are willing to have in your house for an extended period of time. They need to be a partner that will only bring in workers that are clean, courteous, and aware that it might be their job site, but it is your home.  You want a partner that confines the job site to the room in question as much as possible and cleans up at the end of each day.
