Bathroom Remodel Estimate Example: Curbless Shower

About this example

This example is the estimate a remodeling contractor in North Carolina gives homeowners who want to turn a dated primary bathroom with a tub into a curbless walk-in shower with a double vanity and a heated floor. It covers demolition, plumbing and electrical, tile and waterproofing, fixtures and finishes, and a contingency for hidden conditions.

Remodel estimates go wrong when homeowners do not understand what can change, so this one is open about it. A before-and-after page and a floor plan show the design, a scope table separates what is and is not included, and the costs are itemized in five sections with labor and materials together. Five items are allowances, and a dedicated table shows how the price moves if the homeowners choose above or below them. The 10% contingency is used only with written approval. A three-week schedule, a payment schedule tied to inspections, common questions, and a short page explaining that the estimate is not yet a contract complete it.

Who it is for

Remodelers, kitchen and bath contractors and handymen who price renovation work before the client has chosen every product.
