So I've had my bathroom completely remodeled, and the cost was $10K. A bunch of people who evidently didn't want to offer to do the work are now claiming I'm getting ripped off. I don't necessarily agree, but then again, I've never had home renovation work done before.
Here's a list of everything they did:
Complete demolition of the old bathroom
Replaced section of the floor support area that had rot
Installed new flooring (that synthetic wood stuff that floats on top of the sub floor)
Installed a vent fan (previously there was no fan at all, so they had to wire it to a switch, and install vent piping to one of the vents in the attic)
Installed new toilet
Installed new sink
Installed new, taller, vanity
Installed new light fixture
Installed new tub
Installed new shower head/faucet
Installed tile around the tub
Converted a coat closet into linen shelves (basically they took out the door in the hallway, installed new sheet rock/paint/etc. to seal up the old door, and then cut a hole in the wall of the bathroom so that space could be better utilized as linen storage)
Painted
Handled all purchases of fixtures and materials
The contractor I picked has had two guys working on it for seven days, 8am-3pm.
FWIW, I'm completely pleased with the work that's been done, the bathroom looks a million times better than before.
But, am I getting ready to pay too much for this work?
