Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Greater Salisbury Bathroom Remodeler
Most bad remodel experiences trace back to questions that weren't asked during the sales visit. This is the short list worth running through before you sign anything in Greater Salisbury.
Scope, license, and pricing
Make sure every quote includes the same line items and that the contractor and plumber are licensed.
- Is the contractor's Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license number current?
- Is subfloor repair included if needed, or a change order?
- Are plumbing or valve relocations included — and which Maryland-licensed plumber will pull the permit?
- Is the Wicomico / Somerset County permit cost included?
- Is haul-away and disposal included?
- What's NOT included that often becomes a change order later?
Warranty and workmanship
Manufacturer and labor warranties are different. Both matter.
- How long is the labor warranty, and is it transferable?
- What's covered under the materials warranty separately?
- If something fails in year 3, who do I call?

Frequently asked questions
Is it rude to ask for the MHIC number and the plumber's license?+
No. Both are public record. Maryland requires the MHIC license for home improvement work and a separate license for plumbing. Reputable companies expect the question and provide both numbers without pushback.
