Questions every Nashville homeowner should ask

Ask the same set of questions to every remodeler so the answers are comparable. The questions below cover licensing, scope, and warranty — the three areas where Greater Nashville quotes most often diverge.

  • What's your Tennessee state contractor license number and classification (BC-A Residential Limited, BC Building Contractor)?
  • Who's the licensed plumber on the job, and what's their TN license number?
  • Who pulls the permit with Metro Codes (Nashville-Davidson), and what inspections does this project trigger?
  • Is the price fixed or an allowance? What's the change-order process?
  • What waterproofing system (for tile) or shower pan (for acrylic) are you using, and who manufactures it?
  • What's the warranty on labor, on the shower system, and on the plumbing work — and is it transferable?
  • How do you handle subfloor / joist damage if you find it during demo?
  • What's the realistic timeline, start to finish, and how many crews work the job?
  • Do you protect the rest of the house during demo (floor covering, dust containment)?
  • Who's my point of contact for day-to-day questions?

Frequently asked questions

How many quotes should I get?+

Two to three is the sweet spot for most Greater Nashville bathroom remodels. One quote isn't enough to know if the price and scope are reasonable; more than three usually slows the decision without adding clarity. Make sure every quote covers the same scope so you're comparing apples to apples — that's the single biggest reason bathroom remodel quotes look wildly different.
