I’m new to hiring bathroom remodeling companies and feeling a bit lost. Any advice on what to look for in estimates, timelines, warranties, and handling permits or change orders for a small 5×8 bath would be really helpful, especially for companies in the Knoxville area that communicate clearly.

On a 5x8, ask for a line-item estimate (demo, disposal, rough plumbing/electrical, waterproofing like Kerdi, tile sq-ft price, vanity/top, fixtures, paint) plus allowances and lead times; a realistic timeline is ~10–15 workdays with at least a 1-year labor warranty and proof of waterproofing system warranty. Vet crews by license/insurance numbers, permits pulled by the contractor, recent references you can call, and a change-order policy with written approval and fixed unit rates.
