The length of the job depends on the type and scope of the project as well as the lead times on some products like countertops and shower doors. This is because they typically cannot be premade. Product availability and lead times are usually confined to the time between ordering and the start of your project. However, we have been continuing to have quality issues with plumbing products in particular. This causes a delay when the plumber realizes parts are missing or the item is damaged. We maintain multiple vendors for most products and scramble to find the parts or products with as little delay as possible. In the past, we've found our average time frames to be as follows. Projects like countertop replacement will usually take only two to three days. Shower replacement is about five to seven working days, a normal hall bath about three weeks, a master bath three to five weeks, and kitchens between two to seven weeks. Work with a transparent bathroom remodeling company like Allen Kitchen & Bath to be kept up-to-date on the progress of your project every step of the way.

Today, quartz is the most popular counter material followed by solid surfacing (Corian). Quartz is a harder stone-like material that will resist scratching better than solid surface tops, but solid surface tops can be repaired much easier than quartz. Both materials allow undermounted sinks but solid surface sinks can be integrally fabricated onto the top leaving no joint. Granite tops have faded in popularity and laminate tops are rarely used in remodel projects. A new material, sheet porcelain, provides a very hard, scratch-resistant top that also will withstand high heat.
