2018 Remodeling Cost vs Value Report

This will give you an idea of the average return on your investment in the region where you live.

The one factor it will not give you is number of intangibles you may receive from the project you're considering.

• Lifestyle enhancement
• Number of years living in your new space
• New opportunities the space now provides

Make sure those are also part of your equation before making a final decision on the impact a remodeling project may make on the "value" of your home.

I would recommend that you look at remodeling magazine. They do an annual study of cost versus value For mini interior and exterior home improvements.

I am not sure where you are located, but have you looked through the GuildQuality Contractors to see if there are any members in your area? A tile contractor or renovation company would defintely be able to help you!

http://www.tile-assn.com/ The National Tile Contrators Association is a good start

and then google them

Love to look and see what we can do for you! Give us a call!

They start at 250/260 lbs and go up from there. I haven't run into any over 500lbs, but I'm sure they're out there.

We are going to need more information to better understand the situation.

Like everyone else has mentioned you have to do your due diligence in securing a high quality contractor. However, you the client may want to switch the context of the question. If you are implying that your residence address has an assumed effect on the face value of your estimate, then I would have to make the assumption that your address dictates a certain level of implied “quality” if you will. So if your tastes and  design are at an architectural standard  that requires high end craftsmanship and the price point will reflect such expertise. When doing a project in your home you always want to pay for the knowledge and not just the brawn. If you were remodeling a kitchen in a small rental apt in a college town community your price point again would reflect the simplicity of the job. Hope this helps…

Who is the contractor and what did thet do?

What do you mean by bogus?  Is he not a real contractor, or did you have a bad experience with him?

If the company is a Guildmember, you should be able to submit a review in the bottom right-hand corner of their profile page. For companies that are not Guildmembers, we don't presently accept reviews.
