If you’re Googling how to plan a bathroom remodel, chances are you’re already overwhelmedāand I get it. Between tile choices, plumbing lines, and Pinterest overload, itās easy to lose your grip. Iām Frank Puente, and Iāve 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 āWe want a better bathroomā 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. Thatās how I build a real plan, not just a wish list.
Step 2: Know What You Can Spend
You donāt need a bottomless budgetābut you do need a realistic one. In Texas, the average mid-range bathroom remodel runs $12Kā$25K depending on size and layout changes. Want more detail? Check our cost guide (yes, it’s for kitchensābut 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 tableāmaterials, fixtures, finishesāand help you understand the cost impact of each decision. Itās not just about pretty tile. Itās about function, water resistance, lighting, and what will actually last.
Step 4: Prepare for the Mess
Letās be honestāremodeling isnāt clean. Demo, dust, materials staging⦠itās part of the deal. We keep it tidy, communicate daily, and respect your space. But you should still be ready for 2ā4 weeks of controlled chaos.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Punch List
With us, the jobās not done until itās right. I walk every project personally, and we donāt vanish the second the grout dries. Your remodel gets buttoned up and signed offāno missing trim, no crooked outlets, no excuses.
