is this a reasonable cost to tile some things?

Date: September 2nd, 2025 11:02 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) 3 bathrooms: one large master, one small 5x8 with a shower, and one medium sized bathroom with a tub; and one laundry room
Flooring and shower walls, mostly. Niches. Master has tile wainscotting that wraps around the room. A few small spaces for a backsplash.
$25,700. This is just for labor, no materials except rough materials and grout.

Date: September 2nd, 2025 11:03 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) I've used these guys before and they are 1800000, we get compliments on their work all the time. They aren't just slapping shit on the wall.
I'm thinking of countering at 24k.
Only other quote was 23,800 but that included demolition (~3k value) and hotmop. So more like 20k. |

CR. in her defense these are original 50 yo bathrooms, could really use a refresh. she is fine to do only the small 5x8 and laundry which are downstairs, but considering that all of the legwork for these falls 100% on me (she is not design inclined at all) i'd rather get it over with, and of course there are some savings with consolidation.

Pasadena Architectural Salvage I think should be able to connect you to a tile restoration guy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5769197&forum_id=2#49232618) |

Date: September 3rd, 2025 2:31 AM Author: Josh_Allen We’re in CA, too, and just redid our master bath. That sounds a little high tbh but I’m not shocked by it. Where you and we live, you’re lucky to get someone to even do such a “small” job when 10% of the houses in our neighborhoods are having major work done at any point in time.
Think about whether you want to do anything else as long as you’ll have strangers in your house for a month. Get a fancy new toilet from Costco, etc.
If you or your wife speak a non-English language and you’re comfortable having those people do your work, you can probably pay like half of this estimate.
