Taken Advantage of!!

It always seems like it happens this way, one thing goes wrong and another thing follows. Last week my bathroom leaked into my livingroom, my closet doors broke and fell off, my back glass sliding door broke and my handle fell of the stove WHAT NEXT!!

As I ran to Home Depot, I was thinking I need to get this fixed ASAP. I had the guy come out to measure to not only fix the leak but remodel my bathroom as well. I got the call with my estimate yesterday for my bathroom for $16,000.00 dollars, that is SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!! I said, are you crazy, and they told me 8 thousand per bathroom. I felt so taken advantage of and that price did not include what I needed to buy for supplies that was just for labor. I had estimates from other construction guys in the amount of under three thousands dollars. So the question is, how come I can get someone to fix my bathroom, new sink, tub, tile floors, paint and do the job for under 3,000.00 and that includes supplies and labor and Home Depot charges over five thousand more just for labor? Something is wrong with that picture. I lost all respect for name stores who have been around for some time, and feel they need to check their outside contractors before letting them represent their company. I will never do business with them again!

  1. Wow Maisha, that is crazy! 16,000 for bathrooms?? I paid that for a brand new car. LOL. Yeah, those big name stores that make enough money as it is, want to overcharge everyone. And, well, some people fall for it. I look forward to reading your blogs. Have a great night!
