[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks! The contractor quoted $30K for labor only for a full gut. The same contractor did similarly sized bathroom 5 years ago for about $10K. I had assumed it would be about $20K but $30 seems like too much[/quote] It sounds like he just doesn’t want the small job unless you want to hire him badly enough to pay a lot and make it worth his while. Maybe he should have just said “sorry no,” but maybe you would pay him because it’s worth it to you to hire him. So imo it’s okay for him to bid high, but he should communicate about it. [/quote] I would also point out that it’s probably not about him just not wanting a small job. He knows how many subs he has, etc, and how much he needs everyone to “bill” each day or week to make it worth. So maybe one bathroom is just too hard to juggle his tile guy, the plumber, etc but on larger jobs he can more easily keep everyone fully utilized so can bid lower hourly rates. [/quote]
