Frequently Asked Questions

Remodeling a bathroom can be a challenge. Here we will answer some of the questions we get on a regular basis. We present them to help you. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us. We're happy to help!

1) What are your design fees?: There are no design fees. However, we ask for a modest deposit to start the design process which is later applied to the purchase of cabinetry from Bathroom Galleries.

2) How do I know if I like your cabinetry and can afford it?: We carry many different cabinetry lines to make sure we can acommodate a wide range of budgets. Each cabinetry line offers dozens of door styles and wood species that are displayed in our showroom.

3) Do you charge full retail pricing on all products you sell?: No, everything you buy from Bathroom Galleries is offered at a discount. The discount varies from vendor to vendor and also depends on the volume.

4) Can I just buy countertop from you, if I already have my cabinets installed?: Absolutely! Just bring in your measurements, select your countertop from the large choices we offer and we will quote you price of material, fabrication and installation.

5) Do you install?: Although Bathroom Galleries mainly focuses on design and product sales, we have a network of pre-screened qualified general contractors, licensed and insured, who will be happy to bid on your project using the plans we prepare.

6) Can I use the plans you prepare to apply for the city permits?: Yes, you can. We draw plans, including electrical to meet the current California building codes.

7) Do you draw plans for room additions?: No, we do not perfrom any structural or architectural changes. You would need to employ help of an architect or structural engineer for any of your structural wall moving, newly added windows, skylights, etc.

8) Do you offer cabinetry refacing?: No, we do not do refacing, we design and sell new cabinets.

9) Do you offer interior design consulting and how do you charge?: Yes, we have an interior designer who will be happy to help you with furniture placement, color coordination, window treatments and overall style concept. Interior design consulting is based on hourly rate of $150.

10) Do you stock a large selelction of plumbing?: No, we actually do not stock anything. This way you can really choose a unique style and finish for your faucet, shower head or tub filler. Most plumbing items can be delivered within a week or two.

11) How much should I budget for a full bathroom remodeling?: That will depend on the size, products, overall design. A good rule of thumb for standard 8x5 bath remodeling is to allow $7,500 for products and at least $9,000 for installation. Master baths/suites are more costly because you need two of everything (faucets, sinks, mirrors, showerheads), allow at least $35,000 for labor and materials

12) Do you offer free estimates?: Yes, we can give you an estimate right in the showroom if you were to bring your measurements, select a cabinetry style and countertop. If you like the approximate numbers and would like us to go to your house, at this point we will ask for a deposit.
