Questions to ask: bathroom exhaust fan upgrades
Good contractor questions for bathroom exhaust fan upgrades test how the work will actually be delivered. Start by asking who will determine room volume, duct length, and existing ventilation before selecting fan capacity, how findings will be documented, and what happens if the existing conditions differ from assumptions.
Questions about existing conditions
“Will you determine room volume, duct length, and existing ventilation before selecting fan capacity 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 route exhaust outdoors using appropriate ductwork, not into an attic?” 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 check electrical controls, insulation contact, and access above the ceiling?” 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?” A quiet fan is not useful if restrictive ducting prevents adequate airflow. Confirm who approves changes, how pricing is documented, and what workmanship warranty and exclusions apply.
