One of the most common questions we hear is 'how long will my bathroom be out of service?' The answer depends on scope, but a full renovation by Eco Bathroom Remodel in a Plano home typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. Here's what happens, week by week.
Before Day One: Design, Permit, Order
Expect 1 to 2 weeks of prep before construction starts. We finalize the design, order tile and fixtures (this is where delays hide, specialty tile can take weeks to ship), and pull permits where needed. Ordering early is the single best way to keep your timeline on track, and buying fixtures late is one of the most common bathroom remodel mistakes we see.
Week 1: Demolition and Rough-In
The old bathroom comes out, and the room is stripped to the studs. Plumbing and electrical rough-ins follow. It's loud, dusty, and looks worse before it looks better, that's normal. We seal off the work area and clean up daily.
Week 2: Walls, Tile, and Waterproofing
New walls go up, the shower pan is set, and waterproofing goes in. Tiling starts, floors first, then walls. This is where the room starts to feel real again.
Week 3: Cabinets, Counters, and Fixtures
Vanity, countertop, and sink installation. The toilet goes in. Shower glass and fixtures follow. Lighting and fans get installed and wired.
Week 4: Finishing Touches and Walkthrough
Trim, caulking, hardware, and mirrors. We clean the space top to bottom, then walk through the room with you, testing everything and noting any final details. Then we hand over the keys to your new bathroom.
The Three Delays That Matter Most
1) Backordered materials, avoid by finalizing selections early. 2) Hidden structural issues like rotted subfloor, we flag these honestly and fast. 3) Changes mid-project, decide on the big items before demo starts and you'll stay on schedule.
