As for your comments on Bathfitters, I agree, they do look tacky. I know someone that used them for their two baths when they remodelled and while the rest of bath looked nice and upscale, the bathtubs looked cheap and tacky. I could not bear to tell them so I just smiled and said how great the new vanities looked.  Jay |
I have to add that just because you are a contractor does not make you qualified!!!! All you need is to send an application and a fee to the Secretary of the State and puff you are one. To work as an electrician or plumber all you have to do is work for a licensed one; I could work for one as a CPA. Carpenters do not need any qualifications.
I loved my wife's friend. Tile on sheet rock in the bathroom shower??? It fell apart in six months. Like contractor, cement board with a fiberglass sheeting over it layered with a thin layer of mortar to make it water proof. They paid 4K for this disaster.
