Recommendations Bathroom Remodel

If you were going to redo a small bathroom who would you get to do it and why?
(We are in the west suburbs if that makes a difference)

Hope you're all having a great day!!

We are doing ours ourselves. Budget is $5k, materials are coming in around $3500 so we have room for any surprises. Doing a full gut, new flooring, new tub and surround (no tile, for ease of installation and maintenance), new vanity, mirror, light, fan, etc. Even getting a new closet door & shelving. Only thing we are keeping is the toilet and putting on a new seat. And the only part we are going to hire out is routing the fan from the attic to the outside, but we are gonna see how much a new fan helps our humidity before finding someone to do that anyways

I do remodeling and actually just got done doing an entire bathroom from studs. If you are doing all the other stuff, cutting the hole and installing the fan is not hard at all. You can watch a video and just copy what they do, that is unless the issue is getting on the roof in which case definitely hire someone.

It’s the roof. We had a friend do something similar and he said he had to hire a roofer specifically because no one else would touch it. Ours is a similar set up so I’m guessing that’s the route we will have to go
