Re: Shower Remodel Price?


Do a search for "going rate",
"how much to charge", or
any similar terms.
Answer the question,
"How long is a piece of string?"
Then come back and we can talk.

There is stupid. And then there is REALLY estupido. I think that at this juncture in you Posting History and Existence here at the CT forums, you done surpassed the thresholds En Todo!

NEVER ask "How Much" on a CT Forum. You WILL get kicked in the "Privates" squarely and succinctly!

That is just how we are!

Sorry. (But NOT really!)

ezra

First let me apologize for my fellow contractors here, they like to razz the new guy.

Most of us have come up with our own pricing strategies to keep work flooding the phone while making a very healthy profit.

Althogh I have perfected my pricing system over a 26 year period I will step up and give you my formula.

Start your total estimate price with a 6 and add 0's until the customer hollers UNCLE then back out $100.

I hope this helps, Good luck

Re: Shower Remodel Price?


I could throw it in for about $8000, but if you want it done right, It would probably run about $14,000-$20,000

Ole ezra got his ass kicked here didn't he?

He is no more a tradesman than I am an airline pilot, probably just wanting to know if he was gettting screwed on a bid someone has given him to work on his own house.

Nice try tho ezra!
