"Our goal was to build a structurally safe garage storage loft. Juan and Julian were a great team to work with. They were very professional and organized- they gave us a quote and clearly communicated what the plan would look like from beginning to end. They guided us on the items that we needed to buy prior to starting the work in order to complete the project within the estimated time. They suggested modifications that were minor fixes but made the layout make more sense in terms of placement. Their crew finished a day ahead of schedule. They kept a clean work site and the quality of the results were great. I would gladly work with them on another home project in the future!"

"Tal was highly recommended by a friend of mine. He came to our house with a portfolio of all the beautiful remodeling jobs he had done. He sent a detailed proposal only a few days later. We had the first floor of our home remodeled which included: kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, and powder room. We had the fireplace totally redone with an electric insert installed. We had luxury vinyl flooring installed ,the popcorn ceiling removed ,recessed lighting, and walls painted. It all looks amazing I feel like I have a new house. Tal was wonderful. He helped us pick out the flooring and the quartz countertops to complement the white shaker cabinets I chose. Everyone that was involved in the remodeling were fantastic. The workers were all very professional and were there every day, except weekends) Tal came every day to check on the progress. He let me know what was going to be done that day and who was coming to do it. Tal always answered my text messages immediately when I had questions too. It took a total of about 7 weeks. They finished on my birthday! When it is time to remodel the 2nd floor we will definitely Choose Bay Builders . (I'm hoping next year) I have recommended them to several friends and neighbors. I LOVE the 1st floor of my home now!!!!!"

Most bathroom demolition projects are completed within one day, though larger or more complex spaces may require additional time. A standard half bath might be demolished in just a few hours, while a spacious primary bathroom with extensive tile work could take up to three days.
Factors that extend the timeline include discovering hazardous materials, addressing unexpected structural issues, or working with difficult-to-remove fixtures. Professional crews can complete projects more efficiently than DIY efforts due to their specialized tools and experience.
Before demolition begins, remove all personal belongings, toiletries, and decorative items from the bathroom. Create dust barriers by covering doorways and vents with plastic sheeting secured with painter's tape. Shut off water supply valves and electrical circuits serving the bathroom to prevent accidents.
Establish a clear pathway from the bathroom to your home's exterior for debris removal. If you have only one bathroom, make alternative arrangements for facilities during the project duration. Protect the flooring in adjacent areas with drop cloths or protective coverings.
Remaining in your home during bathroom demolition is feasible with proper planning. The process generates considerable noise, dust, and disruption primarily during working hours. Households with multiple bathrooms can simply use alternative facilities during the project. For homes with a single bathroom, you'll need temporary solutions such as arrangements with neighbors or nearby facilities.
The most intensive demolition lasts between one and three days, after which dust and noise levels decrease substantially. Some homeowners choose to schedule short trips during the most disruptive phase of the project.
