Bathroom Renovation FAQs
Process
1 day seems too fast to do a good job. How do you remodel my bathroom in 1 day and do it well?
At Ultimate Bath Systems , we specialize in bathroom renovation. We take your outdated bathroom and turn it into the bath of your dreams. Since we focus on only one thing, we are able to do it quickly and do it very well. You never sacrifice quality when our transformation specialists are on the job. They are specifically trained in our methods of scheduling and quality control. This is something that will be evident in your final product. Outdated to Updated in 1 days.
Do you have to shut the water off during the entire remodel process?
We will only shut off the water long enough to unhook the existing plumbing and install new shut off valves. Then we turn it back on throughout the rest of the house.
How do you get into the house if we aren't there?
We have been working in people’s houses for many years. We know the importance of the safety and security of your family and your home. Since we must have access, we work extremely hard to keep your trust. If someone is not at the house we will need you to trust us with a key. Our transformation specialists are fully screened and drug tested prior to coming to joining our team. Throughout your project, we will have the same lead crew member at your house, ensuring consistency and trust.
Since you are carrying materials through the house, how do you protect the other parts of the house?
Our transformation specialists are trained to protect your residence. If we make your bathroom look good and mess up the rest of the house we haven’t done our job. On day one, upon entering your door for the first time, we mask the flooring from the door all the way to the work area. We then mask off the work area to keep it contained. The work area will remain masked until the project is complete.
Can we still live in the house while you are working?
While we Transform Your Bath, we make every effort to keep the disruption to a minimum so that you can live comfortably in your home during the project. Our transformation specialists will typically start between 7:30 – 8:00 and be out of the house by 5:00 every day. They will also clean up each day on the way out the door.
How do we know what is going into our new bath remodel?
When transforming your bath, the task of deciding what products to use can seem daunting. We want you to enjoy the entire process. So from the very first meeting, you will begin working with a design specialist. They will assist you in all of your design decisions while carefully monitoring your budget needs. From thousands of products available to you, Transform Your Bath works with some of the best suppliers, assuring you good selection and great products. Delta, Moen, Kwal Paints, Strasser Woodenworks, Dal Tile, Sterling and Kohler are just a few of the quality companies we work with.
Will you allow me to do some of the work myself?
Unfortunately that is not possible with the way we are structured. As a licensed contractor we accept responsibility for building to current standards and codes. As an insured contractor we are bound by the requirements of the insurance company. To guarantee we meet the quality and safety standards we are responsible for, only our approved transformation specialists are allowed to work on the job.

Financial Questions Quality Assurance
What do I get for my money?
Again, you have many choices. Let’s start at the beginning. One thing you do not get is any product that simply disguises the old by covering it up. One of the reasons you are reading this is because you are tired of the old. We get it out of there for you. We totally refurbish your bathroom. Our transformation specialists remove the existing cabinets, bath fixtures, light fixture, wall tile and flooring and dispose of them. We then begin the process of putting your customized bathroom together.
Our standard packages include many things others consider upgrades:
- New solid surface countertop
- New tile on the floor
- New water resistant tile backer
- New tub or shower base
- New tile of the walls
- New cabinet
- New sink
- New toilet
- New faucets
- New paint
- New light fixture
- The list goes on…
As you can see, we don’t skimp. You will be impressed.
Do you collect all the money up front?
We don’t collect all of the money up front. We do collect a down payment at the time of contract because we order all the material for the job so we have it ready to go on the start day. We don’t collect the final payment until the job is complete.
Do you have insurance?
We carry all the necessary insurance required by the building department. Any specialists required in the performance of the work are also required to carry insurance and required licenses. We will provide a copy with your signed contract. In order to be licensed and to pull a permit for remodeling, a contractor must have insurance. Not having insurance is another reason some ‘contractors’ will ask a homeowner to pull their own permit.
What if I don't like the products I selected, after you start installing them?
At Ultimate Bath Systems, we make every effort to ensure that doesn’t happen. Our goal is to have you 100% satisfied. After your initial selection with our design specialist, we go one step further and present you with pictures of the products you have chosen. This allows you to review your selections one more time prior to us ordering the product. We don’t order product or schedule a start date until you are sure of your decision and sign off on your product selection. Making changes after this won’t allow us to guarantee your completion date or pricing. By adhering to this policy we are able to deliver a finished product on time and on budget.
What kind of warranty do you provide?
We provide a limited life-time warranty on the bath and shower area renovations.
Do you offer financing?
Yes we do. There are several options available. We accept major credit cards and can offer six month same as cash. Please ask your design consultant what option may be best suited for you.
