[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - I was the one who specified using the foam insulation...we have it in our basement and it makes a world of difference.  I also specified expensive tile in the bathrooms because I like the look of glass tile and, well, that costs more money (the tile I've picked for the master is $25 per square foot).  I also wanted a huge soaking tub in the master bath - the one I picked out was about $6,000, so that is in the bid.  I also wanted a steam shower in the master bath, real hardwood in the attic, radiant heat flooring, marble countertops, repainting the entire house, etc.  Maybe I'm answering my own question by admitting I just like expensive things and found a contractor who put them all in the original bid rather than upcharging me at every turn in the contract.

Even so, unless you are going with solid gold faucets, $400k is VERY expensive for a renovation.[/quote]

And also, foam insulation isn't incredibly expensive.  It's also not going to be any more effective than fiberglass if you have the right insulation value.  The point of using foam is where it's not possible to use fiberglass because of access.  If you're opening up the ceilings anyway there's no reason to do foam.  Why didn't the contractor or architect tell you this?[/quote]
