Planning tips for this checklist
Treat waterproofing as a decision
Tile and fixtures are visible, but waterproofing, slope, ventilation, and plumbing details protect the room. Add professional questions before walls are closed or tile is installed.
Confirm temporary bathroom access
A bathroom remodel can disrupt daily routines quickly. Write down which bathroom stays usable, when water is shut off, and how dust, pets, kids, and cleanup will be handled.
Inspect before final payment
Check leaks, fan function, GFCI outlets, caulk, grout, drains, toilet stability, doors, drawers, mirrors, lighting, and touchups before marking the project finished.
