Compare scope before you compare a headline number
Compare each proposal against the same project definition: Converts one existing tub into one shower in substantially the same footprint. It excludes demolition/disposal, a separately priced curbless or barrier-free upgrade, a new bathroom layout, and unrelated full-bath remodel work. 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 project pricing not used; general warranty terms and exclusions beyond the cited Birmingham wording not verified; nationwide service-area boundaries for every market not verified; customer reviews and ratings excluded; financing terms and promotional offers excluded; claims comparing performance against competitors excluded
Official public sources reviewed

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.
