What order do the trades happen in a bathroom remodel?
The order follows what the bathroom needs. Framing comes first only when the alcove or the walls change. Plumbing and electrical happen while those walls are open. Drywall closes the walls. Tile, the shower or tub, the vanity, and trim finish the room.

When does framing happen?
Framing is the structure. It is part of a shower remodel when the alcove changes, and it is part of a bath when a wall changes. A shower that stays in the same opening does not start with a new frame.
When do plumbing and electrical happen?
Plumbing for the valve, the toilet, the tub, or the vanity is done while the wall or the floor is open. Electrical and lighting are scheduled the same way when the bath needs a circuit or a fixture. Both are Sea Level Construction services, so they can be on the same project as the tile and the fixtures.
What closes the walls, and what finishes the room?
Drywall closes walls that were opened. Paint is not part of that work. Bathroom tile is the wet surface after the board is ready. The shower, the toilet or tub, and the vanity are the fixture services. Trim is the finish carpentry at the end, including casing when a window or door is part of the room.
What changes the sequence?
A shower-only job is shorter than a bath where the toilet, tub, and vanity also move. Hidden damage, a new alcove, or a plumbing move adds steps. Sea Level Construction sets the timeline for the specific room. No fixed number of days is published.
