QUESTIONS TO ASK
Questions to ask: bathroom accessibility improvements
Good contractor questions for bathroom accessibility improvements test how the work will actually be delivered. Start by asking who will measure clear floor space, door maneuvering clearance, and the route into the bathroom before choosing fixtures, how findings will be documented, and what happens if the existing conditions differ from assumptions.
Questions about existing conditions
“Will you measure clear floor space, door maneuvering clearance, and the route into the bathroom before choosing fixtures before finalizing the scope?” Ask what will be measured, photographed, or opened for verification and which assumptions remain provisional.
Questions about the proposed method
“How will you confirm whether wall blocking can support grab bars and whether existing framing permits changes?” Request an explanation of the assembly, trade responsibilities, material choices, and what will be inspected before work is covered.
Questions about disruption and inspection
“What is the sequence for coordinate shower threshold, floor slope, and slip-resistant finishes as a system?” Ask about access, temporary shutdowns, material delivery, protection, inspection scheduling, and cleanup.
Questions to ask before signing
“What happens if hidden conditions change the scope?” Do not assume a larger doorway alone makes a bathroom accessible. Confirm who approves changes, how pricing is documented, and what workmanship warranty and exclusions apply.
Local project considerations
For an occupied home, discuss room access, dust isolation, protection of belongings, household routines, and the timing of any water or power interruption.

Actual requirements and pricing depend on the property and agreed scope.
Before requesting a proposal
Share photographs, approximate dimensions, the desired finished result, and any known defects. For bathroom accessibility improvements, explicitly mention: measure clear floor space, door maneuvering clearance, and the route into the bathroom before choosing fixtures; confirm whether wall blocking can support grab bars and whether existing framing permits changes; and coordinate shower threshold, floor slope, and slip-resistant finishes as a system. Ask the contractor to identify assumptions in writing.
