Bathroom Remodel Scope We Actually Cover

A bathroom remodel is one of the highest-return renovation projects a homeowner can take on, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Most people start thinking about tile and end up with three separate contractors, a blown schedule, and grout that doesn't match because the tiler and the drywall crew never talked. At Strictly Builders Inc, Ryan Alson runs the full scope himself: demolition, drywall, tile work, and finishing. One licensed contractor from start to finish. If you're planning a bathroom renovation in the near future, call us before you start pulling permits or pricing materials.

What drives cost on a bathroom remodel is almost never the tile itself. It's what's underneath: subfloor condition, existing plumbing layout, moisture damage behind the walls, and whether your current drywall is water-resistant or standard. A cosmetic refresh in a sound bathroom runs very differently from a gut-down-to-studs rebuild in a 1970s home where someone used drywall compound as waterproofing. Cost swings are wide, scope and condition are the determining factors, not a price list. Every job is different, contact Strictly Builders Inc for an accurate estimate.

What a Full Bathroom Remodel Covers

We don't hand off mid-project. These are the phases we carry through ourselves.

  1. 01

    Demolition and Prep

    We strip the existing tile, vanity, and fixtures and check what's actually behind the walls before any new material goes in. Moisture problems found here get addressed before they become your problem in year two.

  2. 02

    Drywall and Moisture Barrier

    Standard drywall in a wet zone is a mold problem waiting to happen. We install cement board or moisture-resistant panels in shower and tub surrounds. The right substrate for the application, not whatever's cheaper.

  3. 03

    Tile Installation

    Floor tile, wall tile, shower surrounds, and tub decks. We set, grout, and seal. If subfloor repair and leveling is needed before tile goes down, we handle that too, same crew, same project.

  4. 04

    Finishing and Final Fixtures

    Vanity install, trim, paint, and any interior painting work to pull the room together. You don't need a separate painter to match the new tile, we cover it.

Why It Matters

The Single-Contractor Difference

Fragmented bathroom remodels cost more and take longer. Here's what changes when one contractor owns the whole job.

01

No Scheduling Gaps

When the tile crew, the drywall crew, and the painter are three separate companies, you're the project manager. We eliminate that entirely, one call books the whole project.

02

Material Decisions Made Correctly

Tile thickness affects the height of your floor transitions. Grout color affects maintenance burden. These aren't design choices. They're technical decisions. We walk you through them before anything is ordered.

03

Honest Scope Calls

If the subfloor under your tile is soft and needs to be replaced, we tell you before we set tile on top of it. Some contractors price around the problem. We don't. The fix costs less than redoing the floor two years later.

04

Available Seven Days a Week

Bathroom renovations disrupt daily life more than almost any other project. We work Monday through Sunday, including weekday availability around the clock, to move your project through without dragging it out.

Our Process

How We Run a Bathroom Remodel

  1. 01

    Call and Estimate

    We come out, look at the existing space, and give you a clear picture of scope, including anything we find that could change the job mid-stream. No surprises after work starts.

  2. 02

    Demo and Rough Work

    Existing material comes out, substrate goes in. Any structural or moisture issues get resolved here, before a single tile or fixture gets installed. This phase determines how the rest of the project goes.

  3. 03

    Tile, Finish, and Final Walkthrough

    We set tile, install fixtures, paint if needed, and walk through the finished space with you before we consider the job done. If something isn't right, we fix it on the same visit.

Bathroom Remodel FAQs

What is a realistic budget for a bathroom remodel?
Honestly, it depends on the condition of what's behind your existing tile and drywall. A cosmetic refresh in a structurally sound bathroom costs far less than a gut job where the subfloor is soft or there's moisture damage in the wall cavity. Cost drivers include square footage, tile material, fixture selections, and whether any substrate work is needed before new material goes in. Every job is different, contact Strictly Builders Inc for an accurate estimate.
Do I need cement board behind shower tile, or is regular drywall acceptable?
Regular drywall in a wet zone will fail. It's not a matter of if. It's when. Cement board or a proper moisture-resistant backer is required behind any tiled shower or tub surround. Florida's humidity accelerates that failure timeline compared to dryer climates. We install the correct substrate as part of every tiled shower or bath project. It's not optional, and it shouldn't be treated as one.
How long does a full bathroom remodel typically take?
A standard full gut-and-replace runs roughly one to two weeks depending on scope, tile layout complexity, and whether any structural issues come up once the walls are open. Cosmetic refreshes can move faster. The schedule extends when material is backordered or when we uncover moisture damage that needs to dry and cure before new material goes over it. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate stage.
What happens if there's subfloor damage under the existing tile?
We fix it before tile goes down, full stop. Setting new tile over a soft or damaged subfloor means your finished floor will crack, the grout will fail, and you'll be tearing it all up again within a few years. Our subfloor repair and leveling work is part of the same project scope, not a separate contract you have to negotiate with a different crew.
Can you match new tile to existing tile in an adjacent room or hallway?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Tile runs are discontinued constantly, and even in-production tiles vary by manufacturing lot. The honest answer is we'll tell you upfront if a match is achievable or if transitioning with a different tile at a doorway threshold is the better call. We won't chase a perfect match at the cost of the project looking mismatched anyway. Transitions, when done right, look intentional.
Does a bathroom remodel require a permit in Florida?
Structural changes, plumbing moves, and electrical work generally require permits. Cosmetic work, retiling a shower, replacing a vanity in the same location, repainting, typically doesn't trigger a permit requirement. The specifics depend on your municipality. If your project touches any of those regulated categories, we walk you through what's needed. We don't skip permitting requirements to make a project move faster.
Does a bathroom remodel in Florida require a permit?
Structural changes, plumbing relocations, and electrical modifications generally require permits. Cosmetic work like retiling a shower in the same configuration or replacing a vanity typically does not. If your project scope triggers a permit requirement, we walk you through the process. We don't skip permitting to speed up a job.
Can you handle tile, drywall, and painting in the same bathroom project?
Yes. That's the point of calling us instead of coordinating three separate trades. We handle demo, substrate, tile work, and any interior painting needed to finish the room, under one contractor. No handoffs, no scheduling gaps between crews, and no situations where one trade's work doesn't account for what the next trade needs.
