Madison Bath Works publishes this planning resource for Madison and Dane County homeowners. This illustrative walkthrough explains the order of a conventional full remodel. It is not a customer story or a claim about a Madison Bath Works project.Scope and selectionsThe homeowner and provider document dimensions, problems, layout, allowances and responsibilities. Fixtures that affect rough plumbing are selected before work, and the permit path is confirmed.Protection and demolitionAccess routes are protected, utilities made safe and the agreed materials removed. The provider documents hidden damage or unsuitable previous work before changing the price or scope.Rough constructionFraming, subfloor, plumbing, electrical and ventilation work occur while assemblies remain accessible. Required rough inspections happen before walls and floors conceal them.Water management and finishesThe shower base, drain and waterproofing are completed and tested as required. Tile, cabinetry, paint, fixtures and glass follow in a sequence determined by dimensions and cure times.CloseoutControls, drainage, doors, ventilation and finished surfaces are checked. The homeowner receives care instructions, permit closeout where applicable and the actual provider's written warranty.
