Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Columbia, SC?add
Cost depends on size, tile, fixtures, and whether the layout changes. Every Chonko Construction project starts with a written scope, schedule, and price before work begins, so the number is clear up front. See our bathroom remodel cost guide for typical Midlands ranges by finish level.
How do I get a real number for my bathroom remodel before committing?add
Start with a Project Blueprint. For $297, a licensed professional visits your Columbia-area bathroom and delivers a written feasibility read, a risk assessment, and a preliminary budget range. The $297 credits 100% toward your bathroom remodel if you build with us.
What is the difference between a bath liner and a full remodel?add
A bath liner (installed by companies like Re-Bath or Palmetto Bath) places a new acrylic shell over your existing tub or shower surround. It's faster and cheaper but doesn't change the layout, tile, or fixtures. A full custom remodel removes everything and rebuilds with new tile, layout, plumbing fixtures, and finishes of your choosing.
Do you just replace the tile or the vanity, or do you do the whole bathroom?add
We do the whole bathroom, a full rip-out-and-rebuild, rather than swapping one piece. The reason is what hides behind a bathroom: replacing only the tile or vanity leaves old waterproofing, plumbing, and subfloor in place, and that's exactly where bathrooms fail. Rebuilding the room lets us waterproof and re-plumb it properly, so the finish you see is backed by the work you don't.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Columbia, SC?add
A bathroom remodel timeline moves with the scope. Tile selections, custom or special-order materials, and permit lead time all factor in. Instead of quoting a number we can't stand behind, we put a realistic, phase-by-phase schedule in writing before demolition, and as your one builder we keep the trades sequenced so the work keeps moving from demo to final inspection. You'll always know the plan and what each stage is waiting on.
Do you remodel master bathrooms in Columbia, SC?add
Yes. Chonko Construction remodels master bathrooms across Columbia SC and the Midlands, including walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, and heated floors. Full design-build scope.
