What's included in a typical bathroom renovation quote?

A comprehensive bathroom renovation quote should break down all materials, labor, and associated costs so you understand exactly what you're paying for. Most reputable contractors provide detailed line-item estimates that cover every aspect of your project from start to finish.

Demolition and preparation work typically includes removing existing fixtures, tiles, flooring, and any necessary drywall. The quote should specify disposal fees, which in Ottawa usually run $500-$1,500 depending on the scope. Structural modifications like moving walls or addressing plumbing rough-in changes should be clearly itemized, as these often require permits and additional labor.

Material costs form a significant portion of most quotes, covering everything from tiles and fixtures to waterproofing membranes and underlayment. Quality contractors specify exact product lines, models, and quantities so you can verify pricing and make informed substitutions if needed. Labor costs should be broken down by trade - plumbing, electrical, tiling, painting - with clear timelines for each phase.

Permit fees and inspections are often listed separately, typically ranging from $100-$500+ in Ottawa depending on project complexity. The quote should also include project management fees, cleanup costs, and any applicable taxes. Warranty information for both materials and workmanship should be clearly stated, with most professional renovators offering 1-2 year warranties on their work.

Timeline and payment schedule details help you plan accordingly, with most projects taking 2-4 weeks for full renovations. Be wary of quotes that seem unusually low or lack detail - quality bathroom renovations in Ottawa typically range from $15,000-$25,000 for mid-range projects, with costs varying based on fixture selection and scope of work.
