Do you know the price range and the typical price for remodelling a bathroom per square foot? Most useful would be the price in Boston or in Massachusetts. In this instance, I am trying to see if my contractor is making me a reasonable bid. It includes replacing a bathtub with a tiled shower, replacing the toilet, vanity etc in a older house but on top of existing plumbing. | |

Hi zak, This doesn't answer your question, but may provide a guideline --- "A bathroom renovation worth $10,000 to $15,000 will take you from a basic but good quality renovation to one with more expensive finishes and fixtures - the cost includes labour. Where your money goes For an economy renovation, you're likely to spend 66% building and labour 33% fittings and fixtures For an average to expensive renovation, the breakdown is 50% building and labour 50% fittings and fixtures " http://www.thisplace.com.au/renovate/bathrooms.htm --K~ |

Been there, remodeled many bathrooms in the Northern NJ, Southern FL, Dade/Broward areas. You can go to any library and get a remolders' guidebook. Or you can visit a major homebuilders supply, they usually carry the guidebooks. Also, have you also considered getting bids from at least 3 contractors. Most people who've contacted me and asked for my contracting services, have had at least 3 different contractors and bids on the job. Just my 2c worth. PS, sorry I won't come that far north, even though my rates are very good, I'm in NJ. |

Yeah, I think a surefire way to find out if the bid is reasonable is to have at least two other contractors bid on it. The bid sounds high to me, but it's hard to know for sure without a look at the place. Even if another bid comes in lower, you could still go with your favored contractor if you think that one will do a better job, or you could use the other bid as leverage to negotiate the price. With a project that size, there shouldn't be a problem finding interested contractors. |
