Bathroom Remodel Checklist: Everything to Plan Before Demo

A bathroom remodel is exciting, but a little planning before demolition can save you from delays, unexpected costs, and last-minute decisions. Before the first tile comes down, make sure these key details are covered.
1. Set Your Budget
Decide how much you’re comfortable spending and leave room for unexpected issues, especially in older bathrooms where water damage or plumbing problems may be hidden.

2. Finalize the Layout
Determine whether the toilet, shower, vanity, and plumbing will stay in their current locations. Moving plumbing can add time and cost to the project.
3. Choose Your Materials
Select your tile, flooring, vanity, countertops, fixtures, lighting, paint colors, and hardware before work begins. Ordering early helps prevent the project from being delayed by backordered items.
4. Plan for Storage
Think about where you’ll keep towels, toiletries, and everyday essentials. Vanities, recessed medicine cabinets, niches, and built-in shelving can add storage without making the bathroom feel crowded.

5. Review Lighting and Ventilation
A well-designed bathroom needs both functional and comfortable lighting. This is also the time to determine whether the exhaust fan needs to be replaced or relocated.
6. Confirm the Project Details
Before demolition, review the final scope of work, payment schedule, estimated timeline, and how any unexpected changes will be handled.
