How to Compare Bathroom Remodel Quotes in Metro Indianapolis
Three quotes from three Indianapolis-area companies almost never look like the same project. This is the framework that makes them comparable.
Build a comparison sheet
List every line item across the top: demo, subfloor, plumbing, shower system, glass, fixtures, vent fan, paint, flooring, disposal. Put each company in a column. If a company didn't quote a line item, write "not included." That's the column you need to ask about.
