$40K?
Are you putting a 24K gold #^&#^&#^&#^&ter in?
We had ours redone after a plumbing leak, all but sheetrock, added a vent fan (there wasn't one) mid-range very nice but not highest end tile, countertop, full glass wall/tiled walk-in shower with the pebble floor/bench etc. and it was sub $20K.... |

I have a good idea of what is involved to do the job you are describing, as well as all the things you are not including.... If this was a permitted job, with a plumber and electrician, your number is light, or you did some of the demo and install yourself. 2013, sure I could see it. Not today.... |

Fully permitted. 2019/early 2020.
Total was 19 and change.
Use a well-known local contractor and had to wait an extra couple weeks to get the good tile guy. Otherwise project went fine.

That included a second story shed dormer, custom shower, rerouting plumbing etc…I ended up signing a contract with another builder for 33k but killed the project when things went south. |

That makes more sense… we didn’t alter the exterior and had the plumbing in place mostly.
