[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP...we added a new 3/4 bathroom in the basement. (3/4 bathroom is bathroom with a standing shower rather than a tub) We also created a 11x11 room in the basement. Total cost is $10K. The bathroom itself was $5K. We spent about $1K in finishes (tiles, toilet, vanity). $5-6K is definitely doable. We added the bathroom directly below the bathroom upstairs so it was easy access to the main pipe.[/quote]

Wow, that's a great deal.  Do you mind sharing who you used?[/quote]

We are up in Rockville. http://www.yelp.com/biz/lerner-and-garcia-associates-alexandria

PS: There are some not sure great reviews on Yelp. We used them on two renovations (upstairs bathroom remodeling and add new bathroom and room in basement) and a water leak issue and we were completely satisfied.

Also, negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. You don't need to accept what they quote. Counter a price where you think is fair and see if they are willing to accept it. You can also tell them your budget and they can work from there. I told them my absolute budget and look for tiles that are on sale or use coupons to purchase vanity, toilet, etc in order to cut the cost down. People in the Washington DC area have too much money and contractors know that they can mark it up and people are still willing to pay the price. [/quote]
