Bathroom Remodel Permits and Inspections

Bathroom remodel permits and inspections handled by us when your project requires them, with drawings, plumbing and electrical details submitted and visits scheduled at the right stages.

Many bathroom projects need a permit, especially when plumbing or electrical work changes. Permits protect you by making sure the work is reviewed. Homeowners in Nashville ask us to handle the paperwork and the scheduling, so the project does not stall waiting for an inspector.

We review your plan and tell you which permits are likely to be required, such as building, plumbing and electrical. We prepare drawings and forms for the local codes office, schedule inspections at the right stages, like rough-in and final, and make sure the work is open and ready to be seen. We explain what each inspector looks for, and we keep copies of approvals for your records, which can matter if you sell the house. Inspections work best when the work is ready to be seen. We keep the framing, pipes and wiring open and organized on inspection days, label what needs a look and have the plans on site. This preparation helps inspections go smoothly and keeps the schedule moving without unnecessary return trips.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and share your goals

    You tell us what you want to change, who uses the bathroom and what bothers you now, and we ask about the home and your timing.

  2. 02

    Visit and measure the bathroom

    We look at the room, the plumbing access, the floor and walls, take measurements and photos and talk through ideas on site.

  3. 03

    Review the design and estimate

    You get a plain written estimate with the layout, fixtures, tile, finishes and schedule before anything is ordered.

    Demolish, repair and rough in

    We protect the home, remove the old bathroom, repair the floor and walls and set the plumbing and electrical rough-in.

  5. 05

    Waterproof, tile and install

    Showers are waterproofed and tiled, then the vanity, fixtures, glass, lighting and trim are installed and finished.

  6. 06

    Walk through and care

    We walk the finished bathroom with you, leave a care guide and photos and make it easy to schedule a checkup.
