We are going to gut renovate our 7.5′ x 5.5′ (w 9′ ceilings) master bath. How much would you estimate labor to cost for the following: no plumbing has to be moved, extra electric line to be installed for towel warmer, and extra outlet put in by toilet. A soffit has to be demolished, storage cabinet and medicine cabinet needs to be recess-installed, a couple of shower/storage niches to be built-in. Tiling will be floor to ceiling. Steam shower glass enclosure to be custom installed (fixture already exists). Everything will be swapped out, including floor. We rec’d a quote which seems high. (It does not include the fixtures, which we’ve priced out separately.) Thanks.

Also, we are renovating a 4.5′ x 5′ powder room: tiling, pedestal sink, toilet needs to be ripped out. Replace sink, toilet, medicine cabint, light fixture, install towel ring…pretty straightforward. Painted walls will just be tiled 4′ high, floor tiling will be replaced (replace mosaics with 12 x 12, so less work, IMO, than mosaics.) How much should contractor fees be for this, separate from fixtures and fittings?
