[QUOTE="nxtgeneration, post: 117114, member: 480"] I would've pissed myself seeing those estimates. I put a new bathroom in our basement last year. I'm talking totally from scratch. From cutting out the concrete to run the sewer to tiling and all the finishes I probably have roughly $12k into it and its a large bathroom. We had a small contractor do the framing and sheetrock/tape/texture. Hired out the electrical and part of the plumbing as well but I did everything else myself. Unless you're putting in diamond embedded tile I have a hard time seeing the shower costing $12k. Tiling really isn't all the difficult, especially floor tile so if you could it might be worth it to do some things yourself if you can. Menards usually has specialty tools (tile saw) for rent or you can buy a basic one for cheap. Also, don't write off the cheaper guy as lower quality right away. I know a couple guys like that and their work is far superior to the big names around here. Like stated above, they are cheaper because they have very little overhead. [/QUOTE]
