What should a bathroom remodeling quote include and is...
Mar 31, 2026
Most general contractors in Los Angeles do not charge for in-house estimates but it is always recommended to ask first. A quote should be line-itemed including specifications for:
- Contract amount
- Start and finish dates
- Design and Planning (if needed)
- Work stages - from demolition to final clean up. A description of all trades involved with the bathroom renovation process.
- Product specifications – Some GC’s include all materials in their bids and some quote only for labor and rough materials. If finished items are included the quote should specify brands and images.
- A “Not Included” Section – What’s not included in this contract.
- Payment schedule (e.g., 10% down, progress payments, and final holdback).
- Warranty information for both products and workmanship. In California there are warranties that set in the law whether they are listed or not but it is always recommended to ask and to note them
- Terms and Conditions, the fine print as in any contract
