Highlights: Timeline for a Bathroom Remodel

  • Week 1: Planning, permits, and design approvals.
  • Weeks 2–3: Demolition and rough-in plumbing and electrical.
  • Weeks 4–6: Tile, cabinetry, finishes, and final inspections.

Week 1: Planning, Permits, and Design Approvals

The first week is all about preparation. You’ll finalize the design, confirm materials, and ensure everything meets Minnesota’s building and plumbing codes. If your remodel includes electrical or plumbing changes, you’ll need a remodel permit MN to get started. Home Visions Carpentry handles all necessary permits and code compliance so your project starts right.

Tip: Schedule material orders early. Minnesota’s busy summer remodel season can extend lead times for tile, fixtures, and vanities.

Weeks 2–3: Demolition and Rough-In Work

Once permits are approved, demolition begins. The team carefully removes old fixtures, drywall, and flooring. Then electricians and plumbers handle rough-ins, installing new wiring, drains, and supply lines, if needed, before walls are closed.

At this stage, we schedule inspections required by local Minnesota building departments to ensure safety and compliance.

After rough-ins pass inspection, we move to installation. Tile work begins, followed by vanities, lighting, mirrors, and plumbing fixtures. Waterproofing and ventilation are key steps for Minnesota homes where humidity levels fluctuate.

Heated floors or towel warmers are popular local upgrades, especially for winter comfort.

Week 7: Final Walkthrough and Quality Checks

Before wrapping up, Home Visions Carpentry conducts a detailed walkthrough with you to confirm every fixture, tile line, and finish meets expectations. Any final touch-ups are completed before scheduling your final inspection and sign-off.

We provide homeowners with maintenance tips and warranty information to ensure long-term performance and satisfaction.
