    Question Is $10K for a complete bathroom remodel unreasonable?

    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?

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.
