I live in Southern California and work in home improvement for a major remodeling agency. When we gut & demolition a space, take it down to the studs & foundation, include full remediation, her price is within the realm of fair pricing. Our wet space remodels range between 10K-27K depending on the size of the space & materials. We service and warranty for lifetime as well.
Thank you! California and Oregon do have a similar cost of living. I think most people who are watching this outside of Oregon are having a hard time this the price as this is a lot for other states. I appreciate your input!

Portland is one of those expensive areas, I live in central FL and doing a shower similar to the one a 4:42 would be something like 5k (customer supplies tile) for about 6 days worth of work and that would be considered good money for one guy. I’m surprised people are still getting caught up on regional labor rates being so different lol
I have been looking their TH-cam videos on costs for the type of projects. It appears that their remodel costs is way higher than average contractors. I’m guessing they do work for wealthy clienteles that can afford it.
I just signed a contract to redo mine 20 sq foot floor 93 sq foot walls. I buy the tile and hardware the contractor buys the waterproofing, backerboard, and leveling sand. Its gona cost about 5k total for me in South Carolina. 3500 for the contractor the rest is material.
Yes, I hear you! Remodeling is expensive and only getting more expensive. There are ways to drop the cost, but will usually involve a good amount of sweat equity.
Awesome video great details, I'm located in washougal Washington if you ever need another installer for Washington jobs 😀 miles of tiles is my business
Wow, in Arizona you can cover your "Better" Shower remodel, for $8.0 to $10K(don't know how to get to$28K). This includes tile comparable to or frankly more expensive than what you are showing (e.g.$5-6$ Square Foot), Kohler Plumbing Fixtures and Valves, 1/2" Frameless Glass Door, $500 for Plumber, and the Tile guy that does the demo and the build.
It's definitely interesting to hear the cost differences between different geographic areas....AZ seems to have a lot of tile install labor that we're lacking here in the PNW.
@@abrahamgomez8525 in the middle of shower tear out, replace all copper and valves, install trim next week…$425 for independent licensed plumber. No wishing required. Stop using the plumbing companies that advertise, have back offices, that can’t remotely quote with couple pictures and you won’t get ripped off.
@@DesignBuildRemodeling way to expensive i guess you make 10000 $ eachshower i can do for 1/3 price in vancouver bc i never work with designer anyway usualy you dont know what you talk about

@@marcopoulin1897 It would be if we were only installing tile! The costs you're hearing about in the video include the waterproofing system and tile install as well as plumbing fixtures, plumbing costs, electrical costs if you add lighting to your shower, and design costs to customize the shower to you!
I had a place quote me 12k for a plastic glue in tub to shower conversion standard size without glass. 1 day job...lol those conversion kits cost 3k max. And average about $1500, these places are out here ganking people. Now i have seen 15 20k shows but those are huge and have jets everywhere and usually travertine
You need a microphone. Sound is awful pricing is outrageous. We just did a complete remodel at your #2 level for $9000 labor and $3500 materials. It included complete shower conversion. Flooring, tile 4 ft up on all wall in bathroom. Shower panel install plumbing, light fixtures and lighting. Rebuild linen closet hang mirror and painting. I’m also in Vegas. We have some of the highest home prices in country.
Id buy all my own material. You canbuy grab bars and really nice shower heads for $20-30 im sure they are charging hundreds for shower heads. I paid $25 for a dual head almost 10 years ago and havent had not 1 problem, and if u do u could easily screw it off. Ceramic tile for a standard shower should cost no more than $6-700 and thats on the high end, the glass doors are the most expensive thing unless your doing travertine or something like that. Labor about $8 sq ft.
Where do you kive Beverly hills id never pay that ever. In wisconsin we dont pay that thats highway robbery. A homes 100k for 3 bedroom ranch. Not that i have one my home sitts at 500k and since joe biden got in probably doubled . That bubble will burst though. Guys shop around best advice i can give.
You probably live in a rural area or not very popular area. The area makes a big difference, so does company size because of the overhead. They have an in house designer so they are a good sized company with several jobs going at once. Just to give you an Idea. An rental space to run your business in a good area in Chicago suburbs is around 3k a month.
The midwest is poor! Low wages and high unemployment. $100k won't even buy you a trailer in Seattle or Portland, let alone a house. lol The median home price is almost a million in the Seattle/Bellevue area. There are a ton of people who can afford those prices in this area. Also, not a lot of illegal immigrants and unlicensed contractors bringing the wages down like in Texas, Florida, Nevada etc... People value their work in this area.
true but you're in Wisconsin , with a 100k home. no disrespect you aren't her demo. is it expensive hell yeah but im sure someone's paying those prices just not us. its like that sometimes
We're in the Pacific Northwest--Portland Oregon area. We don't really charge per sq. ft.--a good part of the cost goes into the shower waterproofing system, the plumber, etc. We aren't just talking about the tile install cost--it's the entire shower including all components (tile, plumbing and electric if you have lighting).
@@DesignBuildRemodeling I agree with the price ,I would say u right in the middle.People that think this is very high price have no idea about building a shower and a bathroom.But I always say ok if u think is to High Do it YOURSELF 🤣🤣🤣🤣.And most of people do that they try and FAIL MISERABLY and then I go back with a higher price for not listening.
Yes, home remodeling can be expensive. The most important is finding someone who will do it well and not run off. Sometimes that means paying a little more for a quality product and experience.

5:50 prices
First of all kudos for holding a poker face while giving out those prices. Massive mark-up.
Jeremy-where are you located? I find cost of living in the PNW really drives up costs.

Thank you for being getting out there and honest about the industry and what it costs to FULLY remodel a shower!
You are very welcome! If there are any other video ideas you want to see, feel free to let us know!

Yes very true. Our cost of living is greatly higher here than in Florida. Thank you for recognizing that!

Standard shower tile floor and walls with insert materials and labor 5800. 10 20grand that's crazy
Omg....im seriously to cheap. Man.....this makes me cry.
Yes, I hear you! Remodeling is expensive and only getting more expensive. There are ways to drop the cost, but will usually involve a good amount of sweat equity.
Good for you if you can get those prices. The majority of people aren’t willing to spend that kind of money.
Yes, remodeling can be expensive, but there are ways to lower the cost by doing some yourself and being selective on what you do to your shower.

Where area of the county are you in??? Just want to know
We’re located in the Portland Metro area of Oregon. The pricing you see should be solid here and similar to Seattle and areas of California.
Crazy pricy

You are way too expensive. How much are you charging per sqft? And where are you in the country to ask this much?
Like 50. Lol

$15,000-$17,000 geez some people make that a year lol

$15,000 for the most basic shower?? Damn
Yes, it seems like a lot, but in Oregon the prices are definitely higher than other states.
