How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take in Colorado?

The four phases of a bathroom remodel

1. Design and selections

Before anything is ordered, we confirm the layout, fixtures, tile, vanity, countertop, lighting, and finishes. For a small refresh this can happen in a few days. For a custom primary bath with layout changes, it usually takes one to three weeks while decisions settle.

2. Permits and material lead times

Once selections are made, permits are pulled if plumbing, electrical, or structural changes are involved. At the same time, we order materials. Tile, vanities, and fixtures can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on availability.

3. Construction

Demo, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile work, fixture install, paint, and trim. A simple guest bath update may take a week or two. A full gut renovation with custom tile and layout changes can take four to six weeks.

4. Final walkthrough

We run through the punch list together, test fixtures, review tile and grout details, and make sure the room is clean and ready to use. This usually happens within a day or two of the last work.
