How do I start my bathroom remodel?

The initial stage of your bathroom remodel will consist of an initial phone call with our Creative Director, then an in-house consultation with one of our Senior Designers who will listen carefully, discover your core needs, and align them with your vision for the project.

How long will my bathroom remodeling project take?

The timeline for your bathroom remodeling project will vary depending on a number of factors. Generally, you can expect approximately 3-6 weeks. We suggest allowing 2-3 months for permitting and designing your bathroom, and 1-2 months for construction.

How a Home Addition Can Transform the Way You Live in Cleveland Park

The most obvious advantage of hiring a design build firm is dealing with one company for the duration of your projects from start to finish. Things tend to go more smoothly when there are less parties involved and when you work with a design build firm in DC, you don’t have to work with outside designers or project managers. With all construction parties being on the same team, it brings total accountability to the firm.

What are the benefits of a home addition?

The benefits of a home addition not only include receiving a high end renovation to meet your aesthetic and practical needs, but you’re also adding value to your home that offers a great return on investment. Washington DC and the surrounding counties are a strong, central hub for home appreciation, so any addition to square footage can be beneficial. Plus, you get to make the space exactly how you want it based off of how it will be used and your aesthetic preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

A design build firm is one company that is hired for the design and construction of a project. The design build process is an efficient way to save time, money and stress. When you hire a design build firm you enjoy working with one company instead of multiple companies. It simplifies an otherwise stressful remodeling process. Think of us as your one stop shop for your entire home remodeling project.

The most obvious advantage of hiring a design build firm for your bathroom remodel is dealing with one company for the duration of your projects from start to finish. Things tend to go more smoothly when there are less parties involved and when you work with a design build firm in DC, you don’t have to work with outside designers or project managers. With all construction parties being on the same team, it brings total accountability to the firm.

Any home alteration will require a building permit that will be obtained for you by your design build firm of choice. Supplemental permits (mechanical, electrical or plumbing) may be required as well: only skilled, licensed trade professionals may apply for these. The permitting process for a bathroom renovation will vary depending on the scope of your project, and our team is here to guide you and support you along the way. For more information on the permitting process visit DCRA.gov.

Financing a bathroom renovation will mainly depend on two things: desired value to add to your home and your personal valuation. However, with the DMV area being a central hub for home appreciation, the search for financing should not be a problem and that’s where we come in. We are more than happy to help you find multiple local banks and mortgage lenders that will thoroughly explain the process and options you have readily available.

One of the ways we help many clients in the DC, MD, & VA enjoy their homes sooner, is through flexible, secure, and affordable payment plans. Our financing programs cannot be found at your local bank and are often not available to “Chuck in the Truck” or your average contractor. Enjoy a range of programs that include absolutely NO money down and even NO monthly payments for up to 18 months, your Hammer design consultant will be able to find a promotional plan that makes your project completely affordable.
