What
makes you worth working with?
We are a team of highly skilled craftsmen, project managers
and designers. Our business process is streamlined and well
communicated among all members of the ExpressBath
team. We pride ourselves on providing clients with the consistency
and quality they expect throughout the entire process - from
the initial consultation to the final project walk-thru.
As
active members of NARI (National Association of the Remodeling
Industry), and NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association)
we adhere to their strict ethical standards.
Does ExpressBath
have any weaknesses I should know about?
Each and every company has a weakness. Admittedly ours is
that we as a team rely heavily on the successful completion
of internal systems and strive to finish each job on schedule,
and as a result it's challenging to make unexpected and
radical changes within the allotted project time frame.
Do
you use subcontractors?
Yes, we use subcontractors for a variety of trades including
but not limited to:
Electrical work
Plumbing
Insulation
Sheetrock
Floor-finishing
Roofing
Painting
All
subcontractors used by ExpressBath
have the appropriate licensures and adhere to International
Building Codes, International Electrical Codes and Plumbing
standards as per their trade. They are required to show
proof of insurance as well. By utilizing specialists in
these areas (and others) we can save our clients time and
money throughout the entire process. Additionally, ExpressBath
has built strong working relationships with their subcontractors
over many years and manages all the coordination of scheduling
and payments. Therefore, our clients do not have to worry
about paying sub-contractors and can have peace of mind
throughout the process.
Are your cabinets custom?
In an effort to meet client budgetary and design requirements,
we have several cabinet manufacturers we recommend. Some
brands of cabinetry used on projects are stock while others
are "semi-custom" meaning that they are made-to-order
but that there are limitations either to sizes, wood-species
or finishes available.
Can
we provide our own product?
Unfortunately,
no. Because the building process can be extremely complex
and most products are fundamentally linked with the building/remodeling
process, ExpressBath
provides the products necessary to complete the project.
Our goal is to provide superior quality and service to our
clients within the allotted timeframe; order accuracy, quality
shipping and order completion are directly related to the
success of a project.
Can
I do some of my own work?
Because
of the extremely tight project schedule that ExpressBath
works with, it is imperative that the ExpressBath
team be the only team performing work on your project.
Are you a "Green Builder"?
"Green" means many things to many people. For
some, it means using only materials from sustainable resources
like recycled products or fast-growing crops like bamboo.
For others, it's about using products that do not contain
harsh chemicals (like formaldehyde) or use harsh chemicals
during their manufacturing processes. And for yet another
group, it means designing in ways that improve energy efficiency
(like passive solar) or water conservation.
ExpressBath
does not promote itself as being an expert in any one particular
"shade of green", however we do our part to conserve
fuel and energy where it is practical to do so, are open
to and have worked with products that are eco-friendly.
We will consider new products and ways of building things
provided the materials and practices are predictable enough
that we can have reasonable confidence in their quality
and longevity.
Can you give a guaranteed start date?
Our contract includes an anticipated duration of project,
and we are committed to the 10 day completion and unless
there are circumstance beyond our control just as township
inspections taking longer than 24 hours to schedule we will
meet that commitment.

Sometimes, unforeseeable but pre-existing conditions arise
on a job and they cause delays. Often, a client will decide
to add work to the body of their contract after we have
already started the project. Rather than leave a job only
partially finished, it has always been ExpressBath
policy to stick with each project until the clients can
once again enjoy their home. Clients who have signed contracts
with ExpressBath
and are waiting for their projects to begin receive regular
updates from us regarding the current schedule.
Can you give a guaranteed finish date?
A
guaranteed finish date is at the core of the mission of
ExpressBath.
We guarantee that your bathroom will be completed in 10
days or less. The only circumstances that will make the
schedule deviate from the timeline would be pre-existing
structural issues, or setbacks that would stem from township
inspection schedules.
Does
your contract contain a penalty clause?
Yes. ExpressBath
guarantees your project will be done in 10 days or less.
If your project takes more than 10 days and there are no
circumstances beyond our control, then ExpressBath
will pay you $100.00 per day for each day longer that your
project takes.
Am
I limited in choice of bathroom fixtures/lighting fixtures?
We have chosen the most popular and highest quality fixtures
from hundreds of well known manufacturers like Kohler, Moen,
American Standard, Grohe and Toto. We are certain that our
variety will meet your needs.
