Why Bathroom Remodelers Choose Claver

Bathroom remodeling is a 14-day sales cycle wrapped around a 10-day install. The customer compares your $12,000 proposal to two big-box quotes and an Instagram contractor's text estimate. Whoever documents the most professionally wins, because the homeowner's biggest fear is the contractor who shows up Day 3 and disappears for two weeks.

The shops that win do three things differently: they build the design proposal on-site so the customer sees the materials before she shops competitors, they coordinate every sub-trade across the 10-day install so the project lands on time, and they bill in milestones so they don't go broke floating $3,000 in tile waiting on the final check.

The on-site design proposal is the engine. Sub-trade coordination is what delivers the install on time.

When you walk Mrs. Castillo's master bath in Brookhaven, the proposal builds itself in the app. Photograph the existing conditions (1992 builder-grade fiberglass tub-shower combo, oak vanity, 4x4 floor tile). Customer picks her selections from your library: 12x24 porcelain wall tile in matte white plus 1-inch hexagon mosaic floor plus 60-inch walk-in shower with frameless glass. Build the proposal: $12,000 (materials $4,500 plus labor $4,800 plus permits plus 20% margin) with full scope of work plus 10-day timeline. The customer sees three professional photos of the existing condition, the materials spec, the timeline. She signs digitally, pays a $2,400 deposit. The materials order goes out Monday. Demo starts in 14 days.

Sub-trade coordination is where most bath remodel shops leak operational money. Day 1: demo crew. Day 2: plumber rough-in 8am-12pm and electrician rough-in 1pm-4pm. Day 3: inspection and waterproofing. Days 4-6: tile setter. Day 7: drywall and mudding. Day 8: paint and vanity install. Day 9: fixtures and glass shower install and customer walk-through. Claver assigns each sub-trade to the right day with the right scope. Sub-trades get push notifications 48 hours before with the address, scope, and materials drop status. Plumber confirms his arrival Day 2 the night before. Tile setter sees Days 4-6 on his calendar. Glass company schedules the shower-glass measure for Day 7. No phone-tag at 7am Wednesday trying to confirm the tile setter is showing up.

Milestone billing is what keeps you from going broke between the 20% deposit and the final 10%. 20% at signing ($2,400). 25% at material delivery ($3,000, covers your tile and vanity order up front). 25% at demo and rough-in complete ($3,000). 20% at tile and drywall complete ($2,400). 10% at final and customer walk-through ($1,200). Each milestone auto-triggers a Stripe charge. You stop floating $3,000 of tile and vanity inventory on your line of credit for 4 weeks waiting on a final check.

After every job, materials and labor are logged. Your $12,000 tile shower shows 22% margin (10-day install, 4 sub-trades, $4,500 materials). Your $8,500 vanity swap shows 35% margin (2-day install, in-house demo and install, no subs). Your $2,500 fixture swap shows 60% margin because the crew did everything in one day. Now you know which scope to push, which to bump 5% in your next pricing review, and which low-margin one-day jobs to politely refuse.

And here is where most bath remodel shops fly blind: marketing spend. You are paying $25-$50 per click on Google Ads for keywords like "bathroom remodel [city]" and "shower contractor." Some clicks become $12,000 jobs. Some become nothing. Claver captures the Google click ID when someone visits your site and tracks it through design appointment to quote to signed contract to final payment. "Bathroom remodel Atlanta" generated 12 clicks, 8 design appointments, 3 signed jobs worth $36,000. "Bathroom contractor near me" generated 60 clicks, 1 design appointment, zero signed contracts. Triple the first campaign. Cut the second.
