Make every quote describe the same project

Hand each company the same line-item scope before they price. If any company refuses, that's information.

  • Demo (tub, walls, floor, vanity, toilet)
  • Subfloor and framing repair allowance
  • Plumbing changes (valve, drain, supply lines)
  • Shower system (acrylic model or tile spec)
  • Glass (frameless, semi-frameless, sliding)
  • Fixtures (showerhead, valve trim, niche)
  • Vent fan replacement
  • Flooring, painting, trim
  • Permits and disposal
