Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Metro Atlanta Bathroom Remodeler

Most Atlanta-area bathroom remodel regret traces back to one of three things: a scope that was vague, a warranty that didn't say what the salesperson said it did, or a price that didn't include something the homeowner assumed was in. These questions head off all three.

The questions that actually matter

Ask these on the first site visit. Any answer that's hedged or off-the-cuff is a signal worth following up on.

  • Are you state-licensed through the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors? Can I see your license number and certificate of insurance?
  • Who pulls the permit and handles inspections in my city or county?
  • Is the crew W-2 employees or subcontractors?
  • What's the labor warranty, and is it transferable if I sell?
  • What's NOT included in this quote that's commonly a change order later?
  • How do you handle subfloor damage if you find it during demo?
  • Will you scope the vent fan during the site visit?
  • What's my realistic start date, and what's the actual on-site duration?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Metro Atlanta?+

Most cities and counties across Metro Atlanta require a permit when plumbing, electrical, or structural work is part of the scope. A like-for-like fixture swap sometimes doesn't, but a tub-to-shower conversion almost always does because the valve and drain are being modified. Confirm with your specific jurisdiction.
