  1. I remodeled both my bathrooms for a little under 4k, what I learned is home depot is pricey, there are stores that mainly sell to contractors, which I found out from my contractor friend, better quality and cheaper prices. Also habitat for humanity has good deals too. If your flexible with your design you can save so much I would not buy tile from home depot, it's expensive and not that great quality, floor and decor has better selection and PRICES. TAKE PICTURES! I REGRET NOT TAKING MORE PICTURES! especially when walls are down and when a you finish the fixtures and plumbing when you add stuff to walls it's hard to remember.

  2. All in all. I love how your bathroom came out. The only thing i would change is the shower til. In my opinion, staggered might've gave it a better look. Thank you for acknowledging all the work that goes in remodeling anything. People think every contractor charges to much. It's not what you think can do. It's what you know how to do. Which essentially will make a job faster.

  3. Lessons of learning:

    1.QUOTES:

    At least 3 !

    They determine cost and scope of works.

    2. CHOOSE CONTRACTOR carefully ~¤ WHO IS HONEST AND FAIR – MINDED
    TO WORK WITH.

    3. Set a time line.

    4. Allow for extra [ at least 10 % ]

    5. COMMUNICATION IS KEY….

    Learn the language of building.

    Terminology : egs

    Bullnose; soft close; recycled; subcontractors; etc

  4. I do bathroom remodels in Ottawa, Canada. A bathroom with a curbless shower will cost you $18-20k all included (canadian dollars).
    Biggest expenses are plumber (2-3k), electrician (could be 0, but could be 2k), shower door ($900 minimum).
    Essentially my fee for doing the work is 7.5k and it takes about 12 days (except plumbing, hvac, electrical which require a licence).
    My overhead is $1.5k a month. There are also non billable things involved (cost of “free” quotes, loading/unloading truck, vacation, retirement, etc…). Income taxes and Canada pension plan are about 40-50% on average (includes medical insurance in Canada).
    There is nothing difficult in a bathroom remodel, that isn’t documented on the internet. Anyone can do their 3rd bathroom fairly well. But you’ll still stuggle to do the first two fairly quickly and with an acceptable quality. I just finished a job for a client. He started his bathroom remodel 3 years ago and he’s not even half way done. That kind of situations do happen. Be realistic with your skills/budget/schedule and you’ll do well.
