Bathroom Reno rec's & experience
Does anyone have any rec's and experience with bathroom reno. We have a split and need to redo our main bathroom which is about 6x10. We made an appt with Alure for an estimate but I would like to get some other estimates. We're not looking to do anything too $$$ since we don't plan on staying in NY that long.
Does anyone have any experience and also what is the average cost that we should expect to pay? Thanks.

Re: Bathroom Reno rec's & experience
DH did our bathroom himself so I can't help you with that but we did use a vendor on here for our kitchen- J&A Building Services- and they were excellent and I thought they were very fairly priced. Maybe get an estimate from them to compare. I know places like Allure and other large companies tend to be super super expensive.

Alure is going to be a fortune. We used a local guy and bought everything from Home Depot. Cost about $6k total. We didn’t reconfigure anything.

Re: Bathroom Reno rec's & experience
Allure is notoriously overpriced. It's hard to say what is average because there are a lot of variables - full or half bath? are you using all tile or sheetrocking part of walls? marble sinks? even tile can run $1 or $10 a tile. There are subway size tiles and 12" tiles. Your best bet is to get 3-5 estimates, ask your neighbors who they recommend, etc.
Personally, I love HomeRx but you can't be in a rush because they are very busy and book months and months out. Signature One is also very reliable. We've used both for various projects.

We just completely gutted & reconfigured our main bath. Had it taken down to studs, moved plumbing & electrical, and an air vent. Everything in the room was replaced and moved. We hired a contractor who is a friend of the family, purchased everything ourselves from Home Depot/Lowes and all said and done, it cost about $9K. Our contractor was able to do everything himself and charged a daily rate. we had other quotes from companies and they wanted any where from $7K-$12K and that did NOT include any supplies & tiles, etc.

We gutted our master bath and it was less than 10k. Bought everything from Home Depot and had a local contractor recommended by a neighbor. Can you ask around your neighborhood? Maybe someone who just had work done? The company you mentioned was insanely expensive. We got a quote and I almost fell over.

Alure is the WORST!!!!!! Had the worst experience with them. The guy who measured the bathroom, measured wrong and completely F'd up the entire process.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the responses. I'm going to use some of the rec's on here plus reach out to some folks to get some other recommendations. I hear mixed reviews about Alure and the price estimate we got is $$$ so I don't think we will go with them.
