If you’re Googling how to plan a bathroom remodel, chances are you’re already overwhelmed—and I get it. Between tile choices, plumbing lines, and Pinterest overload, it’s easy to lose your grip. I’m Frank Puente, and I’ve remodeled more bathrooms than I can count across Montgomery County. Let me walk you through the process, minus the stress and contractor nonsense.

Step 1: Know What You Want

This sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people start with “We want a better bathroom” and nothing more. Ask yourself:

• Do you want a soaking tub or a bigger shower?
• Is storage your biggest issue?
• Do you want a style refresh or a full reconfiguration?

Get clear on what success looks like for your project. That’s how I build a real plan, not just a wish list.

Step 2: Know What You Can Spend

You don’t need a bottomless budget—but you do need a realistic one. In Texas, the average mid-range bathroom remodel runs $12K–$25K depending on size and layout changes. Want more detail? Check our cost guide (yes, it’s for kitchens—but the budget logic applies).

Step 3: Design with the Right Pro

Working with someone who understands layout, function, and code requirements is huge. I bring options to the table—materials, fixtures, finishes—and help you understand the cost impact of each decision. It’s not just about pretty tile. It’s about function, water resistance, lighting, and what will actually last.

Step 4: Prepare for the Mess

Let’s be honest—remodeling isn’t clean. Demo, dust, materials staging… it’s part of the deal. We keep it tidy, communicate daily, and respect your space. But you should still be ready for 2–4 weeks of controlled chaos.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Punch List

With us, the job’s not done until it’s right. I walk every project personally, and we don’t vanish the second the grout dries. Your remodel gets buttoned up and signed off—no missing trim, no crooked outlets, no excuses.
