Homeowners FAQ

Remodelmate contractors are the licensed general contractors who perform the renovations in your home. Every remodelmate Builder has passed Remodelmate’s 7-point vetting process which includes a background check, reference checks, multiple reputation checks, and confirmation of license and insurance.

A Remodelmate Concierge is the lead who will be your main point of contact throughout the entire renovation process. They will oversee your materials orders, assign the Builder team, keep the process on track and on budget, and will take care of any unforeseen issues that may arise.

Remodelmate is different from a traditional contractor in a number of ways: (1) Concierge: Bathroom renovations are stressful and time-consuming. Remodelmate provides a Concierge to take care of all the details. With a traditional Contractor, oversight is left to the customer. (2) Transparent: You will never pay inflated prices based on your neighborhood or the car parked in your driveway. Our prices are available online to everyone. (3) 0% Materials Markup: You will save thousands on materials and are not limited to purchasing from a specific contractor’s suppliers. (4) No Down Payment: Traditional contractors typically ask for 25%-50% of the money before any work is done. (5) Milestone Payments: All work is paid for after it is completed - not before. (6) Instant Online Quotes: Working with a traditional contractor will take 2-3 weeks of calls, appointments, meetings and follow up. (7) Get Started Sooner: Since we have dozens of Remodelmate builders on our platform, there is always someone available to fit your schedule.

Our instant online quote takes about 2 minutes. At that time you will get the final price for your project’s labor. Materials are not included in your quote since you can buy materials from any supplier you’d like!

The next step will be for you to book your project for $100. Once booked, our automated system will prompt you to schedule a call with your Remodelmate Concierge. On the call, your Concierge will review your project’s details, ask any clarifying questions, and discuss your materials and decor needs.

Booking your project engages your Concierge who will review your plans, prepare questions, and generate material quantities list, and identify any required permits.

Materials for a typical 5’ x 8’ full bathroom renovation cost anywhere from $1,500 up to $5,000+, but this is entirely up to you. One of the best features about remodelmate is that we will purchase your materials at 0% markup (unheard of in the remodeling industry) or, if you want something from another supplier, then you can order it directly.

Absolutely. Your Concierge helps you select all of the necessary materials for your dream bathroom.

If you choose to utilize local permitting for your project, then your Concierge will handle the entire process. (Note: Securing permits from your municipality takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.)

Another remodelmate innovation! It ensures that you will never be charged for work that was not completed to your satisfaction. After each Milestone (phase) of the renovation, you will receive a notification to confirm or reject that the work has been completed. Once you approve, your credit card is automatically charged for that Milestone. If you reject the completion, you will not be charged.

We don't offer financing directly. We have a nationwide project financing partnership with industry leader SoFi. With this partnership, homeowners have an easy way to finance their home renovations online without a HELOC or second mortgage. Apply here.

Not a problem! Your Concierge will work with you and the Builder to get things back on track. If the issues persist, we will happily assign a new builder to complete your renovation at no additional cost to you.
