I don't have a breakdown of costs. I told him the budget was $62,000 and that's what he bid. The total cost will be $74,000 because I unfortunately fell in love with top of the line granite and bought it before I opened the project to bids. This contractor wanted to add another high end bathroom to his portfolio so he actually is taking only 13% of the the cost for himself rather than his usual 18% so he could keep within the budget. It would be difficult to compare the cost of your projected demo to mine because all of my plumbing is being moved and replaced. The toilet is going to the opposite side of the room and redoing the floor beams and pouring the concrete footings for the walls are adding to the complexity of the project. Depends on where you live also. I have a friend in Cali who is doing her master bath, same size as mine, and it will cost her 1/3 to 1.5 times more simply because of where she lives.May I ask, was the demo REALLY expensive..
I am so happy to get rid of that jacuzzi tub. I used it once in the 15 yrs we've lived here but the cats loved it. LOL.
