Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Denver-Area Bathroom Remodeler

Most Denver-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 licensed and insured for residential remodeling in Colorado? Can I see proof?
  • Will you pull the permit with the city or county, or do I?
  • Who is doing the install, your employees or subcontractors?
  • What's included in this price, line by line?
  • What's NOT included that's likely to come up as a change order?
  • What's the warranty, labor, materials, and how long for each?
  • What's the deposit, payment schedule, and final-payment trigger?
  • What happens if there's hidden water damage behind the walls or under the subfloor?

Frequently asked questions

Do bathroom remodelers need a state license in Colorado?+

Colorado doesn't issue a single statewide general-contractor license, but most cities and counties, including the City and County of Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch (via Douglas County), and Castle Rock, require contractor registration and pull permits for bathroom work that moves plumbing or electrical. Verify local registration with the municipality and confirm general liability insurance before signing.
