I need to do a bathroom renovation

[suntan]

Second floor bathroom (the kid's bathroom) needs to be renovated. Anybody have any good experiences with contractors lately?

[mr2mike]

Add a bidet.

That's all I've got.

(I don't own a bidet, too poor, not Aspenite)

[flipstah]

Is it full renovation, or just the shower/bathtub?

If latter, Bath Fitter and call it a day

Omer's my tile guy and he is great: http://www.tilebystyle.com/

He can likely put you in touch with a cabinetry or glass person if you require one.

edit:

most recent bathroom tile job he did for us. Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder, but from a technical perspective, his work is extremely high quality and he always puts in the prep time to ensure a good result. He insisted on hammering up my foundation just to centre the shower drain for this job. Heart of gold and his team works freakin' hard.

No one uses Dave the tile guy anymore?

Didn’t he turn out to be kind of a twat? Or am I thinking of someone else…

Enrich!

Dave was good. I think he just needed some time off social media.
Helped me a few times with diy tile advice.

@C_Dave45 is the famed "Dave"; I've never met him personally but he always seemed to know his stuff.

Honestly, tiling seems like a tough trade; beyond the obvious physical challenges of hauling heavy material around, SO much of the end product's quality is dictated by the prep work.

I was talking to Dave the tile guy. He did @A790 's bathroom recently. Here's the work link. No facebook account and link still works.
That shower is really nice I will admit, pretty jealous!!

If @suntan is wanting a basic Beyond baller bathroom done, there's this one Dave did too.

Guess you need to book him over to determine a budget and expectations.

*disclosure, no kick backs for this, I've just seen his work over the years and it's top notch. That one outdoor tile patio he did was pretty incredible a few years ago.

Dave does good work. Tile design and planning is a fascinating art on top of the trade of tile setting.

Gold trim. I knew there was something wrong with A790.

The man is unhinged. I thought he was moving to South Carolina? What happened to that dream?

[killramos]

That guy loved his socialism way too much to consider moving to a republican state lol

[Euro_Trash]

Dave is installing some tile on our kitchen island in the next couple weeks, pretty pumped!

I thought it was TO?

I'm so confused

[ExtraSlow]

He's hard to pin down clearly.

Dave did mine. Would recommend

[suntan]

Things I've learned so far:

- Contractors love Home Depot.
- No one wants to remove K3.

Tile Dave and the other guy that came today are the only people so far that 100% want to remove K3. Everybody else: "Shave the door!".

If @suntan did his own reno, it would follow this chart.
