Step-by-Step Guide to Remodel Your Bathroom (Without the Headache)

Thinking about a bathroom remodel? Whether you're upgrading for better looks, better functionality, or increasing your home’s value, a bathroom renovation is one of the smartest investments you can make. At Mile High Renovation, we’ve helped countless homeowners transform outdated bathrooms into stunning, modern spaces.

Here’s our step-by-step guide to remodeling your bathroom, designed to walk you through the process while keeping your project on time, on budget, and stress-free.

1. Plan Your Bathroom Remodel Like a Pro

Before swinging a hammer, start with a plan. Ask yourself:

• What’s your budget?
  
  
• What are your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves?
  
  
• Do you need more storage, better lighting, or a full layout change?
  
  

Working with experienced bathroom remodeling contractors (like us!) helps clarify your vision, avoid common pitfalls, and get an accurate estimate for the entire project.

2. Choose the Right Bathroom Design & Layout

Your new bathroom should be both functional and beautiful. Consider:

• Vanity placement
  
  
• Shower vs. bathtub (or both)
  
  
• Tile patterns and flooring
  
  
• Space-saving solutions for smaller bathrooms
  
  

Modern bathroom design trends include walk-in showers, floating vanities, and smart storage options.

3. Select Quality Materials That Last

Choosing the right materials is key to a bathroom that stays beautiful for years:

• Moisture-resistant flooring (like porcelain tile or luxury vinyl)
  
  
• Quartz or granite countertops
  
  
• High-efficiency toilets and fixtures
  
  
• Waterproof paint or wall panels
  
  

We only work with trusted suppliers to ensure your bathroom remodel combines durability with style.

4. Demolition – Out With the Old

Once your plan is set, it’s demolition day. Our renovation team removes old fixtures, tiles, and drywall as needed, preparing the space for construction. We handle debris disposal and keep the site clean, minimizing the disruption of your home.

5. Plumbing, Electrical, and Framing

Now it’s time for the behind-the-scenes work. This includes:

• Updating or relocating plumbing lines
  
  
• Installing new electrical wiring for outlets, lighting, or heated floors
  
  
• Adjusting the layout framing for new features
  
  

This phase must meet local building codes, which is why hiring licensed professionals is highly encouraged.

6. Install the Essentials

Once the structure is ready, it’s time to bring your vision to life:

• Install drywall and waterproofing
  
  
• Tile installation for floors and walls
  
  
• Set vanities, toilets, tubs, and showers
  
  
• Add lighting, mirrors, and storage
  
  

Everything is installed with precision and care, ensuring your new bathroom looks flawless and functions perfectly.

7. Final Touches & Clean-Up

The last step is all about the details:

• Paint touch-ups
  
  
• Sealing grout and caulking
  
  
• Deep clean and final walkthrough

Making sure everything is spotless before the project is complete is crucial at Mile High Renovation and at any remodeling project.
