Section 01 · The actual list

Here are the ones nobody warns you about.

Everything below is yours. How it looks, how it works, how it feels to stand in it for the next fifteen years. Read a few — notice how fast you stop knowing the answer.

Tile & stone
▦

Which tile goes where

Floor, wet walls, accent, ceiling. Grout color, joint width, tile size, finish — matte, gloss, honed. Each choice quietly changes the next one.

Plumbing
🚿

The fixture you'll touch daily

Faucet, shower head, trim kit, valve rough-in. Handles that feel right at 5am, pressure that survives three kids and a dog.

Lighting
💡

Light at six in the morning

Vanity bars, recessed, sconces, dimmers, color temperature. The difference between a room you use and a room you avoid.

Vanity & storage
▤

Where everything lives

Vanity height, depth, countertop material, sink type, medicine cabinet, towel bars, outlet placement. Inches matter more than you'd think.

Ventilation
🍃

The invisible one

CFM rating, duct run, noise level, humidity sensor. Get it wrong and you discover mold in year three — usually the expensive way.

The finish line
✓

…plus 241 more

Thresholds, caulk, hinges, backer board, waterproofing, rough-in heights, mirror size, hardware finish. 247 total on a bathroom.

Section 02 · What Remder is

You answer nine questions.
We answer the other 238.

Remder is a consumer decision platform for remodeling. Inside it, you get a real human designer who does this for a living — and a team behind them. Video calls and direct texting for the whole remodel, start to finish.

1

Your layout

Handed your floor plan. And a coffee. Fixture placement, dimensions, elevations — you design off your actual room, not a mood board.

2

The aisles

Everything you love, already here. Tile, grout, stone, vanities, mirrors, faucets, tubs — specified by brand, model, finish, size and quantity.

3

Pointed to the right ones

Chosen for your taste and your budget. Never our margin. There is no margin — that's the whole point.

4

It comes together

Every selection snaps into one room. One total material cost, known before the remodel starts instead of during.

5

You walk out with it

Your layout, your materials, your rendering — in hand. And your contractor gets access too, so nobody is guessing.

Questions you answer
238 handled by your designer
The math, plainly

Same remodel. Different weight.

Without Remder
247

All on you. Asked one at a time, on the spot, with a crew standing there waiting. Get one wrong and you either look at it every morning for fifteen years — or pay twice to tear it back out.

With Remder
9

Questions about your taste and your budget. Then you go live your life while somebody who does this for a living handles the rest — every answer in writing, every material priced at retail.

Your contractor gets access too — same layout, same materials, same notes. No crossed wires, no lost texts, no finger pointing about who said what.

Section 03 · Why nobody has told you this

Nobody in this industry is in your corner. That's not an accusation. It's the business model.

Builders get paid on labor. Showroom designers get paid on what they sell you. Material markup runs 15–35% and never appears as a line item. Every person advising you makes more or less money depending on what you decide — so you get an honest answer to a different question.

What you pay a contractor for materials
+15–35%

Buried in the material price. Never itemized. Plus change orders that exist because decisions were never made up front.

What you pay Remder
$1,250

Flat. One time. You buy every material yourself at retail. No markup, no commission, no question mark about what you're really paying for.

The markup you stop paying is usually more than our entire fee. Don't take our word for it — run your own numbers below.
Section 05 · Run your own numbers

Your markup. Your bathroom.

Pick the room, the size, and the finish level. Drag the markup slider to whatever your contractor charges. The figure in red is what you're already paying and never see written down.

Section 04 · Who pays us

We don't mark anything up. So who pays us? You do.

That's the whole model, said out loud. Everyone else in remodeling is paid by the transaction — markup, commission, referral fee. We banned all three. You're the only person we work for.

"I texted my designer at week five because the crew wanted to move a wall. Ten minutes later I had the answer — with the structural reasoning, the cost difference, and what to tell the contractor. I paid for that whole membership with one exchange."

★★★★★
"Every tile guy, every showroom, every 'friend who knows a guy' had an opinion. Remder was the only one with no stake in what I picked. That's when I understood the flat fee — it's not a price. It's an alignment."
