State-derived project planning range
For a tub-to-shower conversion in Austin, the approved TX state multiplier produces a transparent planning range of $1,456 to $7,765. This is not a West Shore Home price, a city-specific contractor bid, or a substitute for a written local scope.
The range uses the approved per-project master rate card and the published TX state multiplier. Removal, disposal, hidden conditions, permits, selections, and access requirements should be identified separately in a written proposal.
Compare the same scope in writing
- Ask every provider to identify the product system, materials, installation approach, and warranty terms.
- Confirm removal, hauling, disposal, preparation, and repair responsibilities.
- Ask how permit requirements and existing-condition findings are documented.
- Compare schedule, cleanup, change-order, and final walk-through terms—not only a headline number.
