Compare scope before you compare a headline number
Compare each proposal against the same project definition: Replaces one existing bathtub in substantially the same location. It excludes demolition/disposal, shower-to-tub conversion, major subfloor reinforcement, major plumbing relocation, and a full-bath remodel. Ask every provider to identify product specifications, removal, preparation, access constraints, warranty terms, schedule assumptions, and exclusions. This avoids treating unlike scopes as directly comparable.
Exact pricing not verified; customer satisfaction counts and testimonials excluded; review scores not verified or used; location-specific service availability not verified beyond the official statement of over 140 U.S. locations; detailed warranty exclusions and claim procedures not verified; installation timing for every product or project type not verified

Questions to take into a local consultation
- What is included in the written scope and what is excluded?
- What materials, fixtures, wall systems, or accessibility features are specified?
- How are site findings and change orders documented?
- What warranty, service, timing, and cleanup terms apply to this local proposal?
Why independent project context still matters
Matching project guidance is a general planning resource, not a statement of any brand’s pricing. Use the cost guide and calculator to prepare scope questions, then compare written local proposals without treating a third-party planning page as a provider quote.
