I'm looking to totally gut my bathrooms down to the studs and start over.

Can someone recommend a contractor or business in BR for this kind of project?

I'm trying to install frameless shower, freestanding tub, etc.

Go for a wet room with a rainfall shower head. Sorry, can't help with the people to do it.

I'm assuming this will be a bathroom for any gender identity.

just don't do like EVERYONE is with the walk around shower and prison-like white tiles. Install butcher block counters and tile and be the owner of an awesome 80s retro bath.

The best thing I did when we remodeled the bathroom is put in a 7' x 8' walk in shower with no door to have to clean. Just walk in. Figure it'll come in handy when I'm old and decrepit in my wheelchair. All tile, even the ceiling. I wouldn't worry much with body sprays. We put in body sprays, handheld, and rain can in the center of the ceiling. We NEVER use the body sprays. Also got a gas tankless water heater. It'll run nonstop for 59 minutes before cutting off. Go with Delta or Brizo faucets.

Most people's bathrooms are smaller than they think. Bring a tape measure and go look at the tubs and shower sizes you may be interested in. Measure them and write down the measurements.

Get a lot of newspaper and tape and make templates of the sizes you liked. Lay them out in your bathroom and see if you have room to do what you want.

Make a rough drawing and put in some dimensions. Take it to the guy you find and discuss your drawing with him. You doing your homework before speaking with him can help him and you come up with a solid plan on how to proceed.

In your rough drawing with dimensions, be sure and put where drains and water supplies are, with measurements.

Get three estimates.

Acadian Kitchen and Bath if you have the scratch. Not in the remote neighborhood of cheap but they have been worth it so far for the service and expertise. Of course I am only 30% done with the remodel. Get back to me when they finish for the full story.

I did mine for about $3500

Demo $500(I did myself)

Freestanding claw-foot with tub mount shower-package $1500(worth it, Vintagetub.com...you can still do another shower if you want)

floor tile= $500(Bath cost part of kitchen+bath Install)

pedestal sink =$150
Toilet=$150
Install Bath+sink+toilet=$700(re-pipe drain)

Walls=$13 for 4 lnft= ~$400
Paint=$60
Molding=$60

Quoted :$2500 for shower build and tiling.....$700-$1200 for frameless shower door....so the "shower" will cost you $4 grand regardless


Stephen Thompson contracting ...recommended by my mom's friend.

Goomba. How about not shilling for work on this board and posting your phone number.

You can do a lot of that yourself if you aren't a worthless sack of lazy.
