A Bathroom Remodeling Company That Gets It Done Right
Upgrade Your Bath and Boost Your Home’s Value Now!
Thinking about giving your bathroom a fresh look? You’re not alone. A lot of homeowners start with the bathroom when it’s time to update the house. It’s one of the most used rooms in the home. And when it’s done right, it feels like a whole new space.
​
Not all bathroom remodeling companies are the same. Some rush the job. Others charge too much. And a few just don’t listen. That’s why choosing a team like Guthrie Builders matters.
​
Let’s talk about what to look for, what you can expect, and why it’s worth it to hire pros who actually care.
What Bathroom Remodeling Companies Actually Do
Bathroom remodeling companies handle everything from design to cleanup. They help with layout changes, replacing old fixtures, installing new tile, updating plumbing and lighting, and making the space look and feel better. Some offer custom work. Some stick to simple upgrades.
Here’s What Most Bathroom Remodels Include
-
New bathtub or shower
-
Vanity and sink upgrade
-
Fresh flooring
-
Wall tile or paint
-
Lighting improvements
-
Better storage
-
Toilet replacement
-
Plumbing and electrical updates
Some folks want a quick refresh. Others want to rip out the whole thing. Good companies can handle both.
Your decision doesn't have to be overwhelming. We have years of expertise in the following areas.
Why Do People Remodel Their Bathrooms?
Sometimes it’s just about looks. Other times, stuff’s broken or outdated. Maybe there’s mold and you can’t get rid of that smell. Or the tile’s cracked. Or maybe the bathroom just isn’t working for your family anymore.
​
Common reasons people hire bathroom remodelers:
-
Old fixtures or broken parts
-
Not enough space
-
Poor lighting
-
Bad layout
-
Getting ready to sell the house
-
Making it safer for someone older
No matter the reason, a well-done remodel makes a big difference.

Choosing the Right Bathroom Remodeling Company
This part can feel a little overwhelming. There’s a bunch of companies out there. Some advertise like crazy. Others don’t. So how do you know who to hire?
Here are a few things to look for:
Experience
Remodeling bathrooms isn’t something people just wing. You want a crew that’s done it before. Ask how long they’ve been working. Look at pictures of past jobs. Guthrie Builders has been serving the SWFL area for over 18 years.
License and Insurance
A real company has a license. They carry insurance. If they don’t, that’s a red flag. Accidents happen. You want to be covered. Guthrie Builders is proud to have been licensed in Florida for over 18 years and we have General Liability and Worker’s Compensation on all of our employees and subcontractors.
Clear Quotes
You should know exactly what you're paying for. A good quote is detailed and explains the whole job from start to finish. Guthrie Builders never gives you vague pricing.
Communication
If they don’t return your call, that’s not a great sign. You want someone who listens, answers questions, and keeps you in the loop, like Guthrie Builders.
Warranties
Some companies offer warranties on labor and materials. That means if something goes wrong after the job, you’re not stuck fixing it yourself. Guthrie Builders offers a 1 year warranty on our workmanship.
Expert Guidance to Your Perfect Bathroom Remodel
Listening and Planning to Ease Uncertainty
Crystal begins with a detailed consultation, asking about your frustrations with the current bathroom—like a leaky faucet, poor lighting, or lack of storage. We'll explore preferences for design, such as modern, cozy, or spa-like vibes, and discuss must-haves, like a walk-in shower or double vanity. Then we measure the space, assesses the existing layout, and identifies challenges, like outdated plumbing.
Guiding Material and Design Choices to Simplify Decisions
Choosing materials and fixtures is a major hurdle. Customers often feel paralyzed by endless options—tiles, countertops, faucets—and fear picking something that looks cheap, clashes, or won’t last. Budget constraints add pressure, making it hard to balance style and cost.
​
Crystal acts as a trusted guide, presenting curated options based on the customer’s style and budget. She explain the pros and cons of materials, like durable quartz versus trendy marble, or water-saving fixtures that cut utility bills. For example, she might suggest slip-resistant porcelain tiles to address safety concerns in a family bathroom. She also coordinates colors and textures to ensure a cohesive look, solving the pain of mismatched designs.
Managing the Build with Minimal Disruption
Construction is where anxiety peaks. Customers dread living in a messy, noisy home, with no access to their bathroom for weeks. They worry about unreliable contractors or surprise expenses derailing the project.
We take charge, coordinating every detail to minimize chaos. We schedule work to limit downtime, such as completing demolition and plumbing in quick phases. For homes with one bathroom, they might arrange temporary solutions, like portable facilities, to ease inconvenience. Regular updates keep customers informed, addressing fears of being left in the dark.
​
Crystal oversees the crew, ensuring quality workmanship and catching issues early, like a misaligned tile or faulty pipe, to avoid costly fixes later. They also handle permits and inspections, sparing customers red tape. By the end, Crystal does a final walkthrough, fixing any tweaks, so the customer steps into a flawless new bathroom without the stress of a drawn-out process.
What a Bathroom Remodel Costs
Cost depends on what you want. A simple update might be a few thousand. A full custom bathroom can go over $25,000. Most people spend somewhere in the middle.
Stuff that affects the price:
-
Size of the bathroom
-
Quality of materials
-
If you move plumbing or walls
-
How much work is custom
Always get quotes for the different levels of upgrading. Compare them. And don’t just pick the cheapest one. You might regret later not spending a few more bucks for a much nicer outcome. Guthrie Builders is here to help you make sense of it.
What's the actual process?
This is where your dreams become reality...
1
Planning and Design
Define your goals, budget, and timeline. Choose fixtures, materials, and layout. Hire professionals (e.g., designer, contractor) if needed. Obtain permits. This step ensures the project aligns with your vision and local regulations.
2
Demolition and Preparation
Remove old fixtures, tiles, and cabinetry. Address plumbing/electrical updates and repair underlying structures (e.g., walls, subfloor). Prep surfaces for new installations. This creates a clean slate for the new design.
3
Installation and Finishing
Install new plumbing, electrical, flooring, tiles, fixtures, and cabinetry. Add finishing touches like paint, lighting, and accessories. Conduct inspections and clean up. This brings the design to life and ensures functionality.
Timeline: How Long Does It Take?
A standard bathroom remodel usually takes 1 to 3 weeks once we are on the job. But that depends on the size of the job, any delays (like waiting on materials or subcontractors), and whether you’re changing the layout.
Here’s a rough idea:
-
Permitting, planning and design: 1-4 weeks
-
Ordering materials: 1–2 weeks
-
Demo and prep: 1–3 days
-
Plumbing and electrical: 2–4 days
-
Tile, paint, and install: 3–7 days
-
Final touches: 1–2 days
Always ask our team for a clear timeline. And keep in mind, things can shift a little. That’s just how it goes sometimes.
Want some inspiration? These are some things homeowners are loving right now:
-
Walk-in showers with glass walls
-
Floating vanities
-
Big mirrors with built-in lights
-
Matte black fixtures
-
Heated floors (yep, they’re real)
-
Soft, neutral colors
-
Built-in shelves for towels and soap
But don’t follow trends just to follow them. Choose what works for your style and budget.

"high quality work, reasonable prices, on-time and on-budget, good communications, good coordination"
"We've had Guthrie Builders do several projects at our house, including a major kitchen remodel and a minor bathroom upgrade. Tom and his firm have been great in every way: high quality work, reasonable prices, on-time and on-budget, good communications, good coordination with designers and subcontractors, they show up when they say they will, they give good advice on basic decisions and when surprises pop up, and they leave the job site clean. I can't ask for anything more."

"It is rare to have a contractor who is both considerate and competent"
"It is rare to have a contractor who is both considerate and competent. They have built up a strong team who shares this strong sense of professionalism. I not only trust the quality of their work, but most importantly trust that any problems that arise will be dealt with appropriately and honestly."

"They weren't the least expensive bid, however, I had the most confidence in them "
"Guthrie Builders is a high quality firm. During the bid process, Tom & Jeremy were the most responsive, offered constructive feedback regarding the project & were the most focused on ensuring an understanding of the project. They weren't the least expensive bid, however, I had the most confidence in them (& I subscribe to theory you get what you pay for). My project was quite substantial -- touching every room & most every aspect of every room. Importantly, he ensured that my neighbors were well informed & provided his contact info to them. Couldn't ask for a better team!"
Small Bathroom? No Problem
Bathroom remodeling companies know how to make the most of small spaces. There are smart ways to open things up without knocking down walls.
​
Some ideas:
-
Use light colors to make it feel bigger
-
Add a large mirror to reflect more light
-
Choose a floating vanity to show more floor
-
Use glass shower doors instead of a curtain
Even little changes can make a small bathroom feel way more open.
