How to price a bathroom remodel?

Q. Contractors,

I am playing with the idea of starting my own little contracting firm. I have some theories on how to price out jobs but was wondering how you guys do it. Say I had a customer who wanted a bathroom remodel that included (assuming a 10X10 bathroom

Replace the vanity and sink, and fosset
replace the toilet
rip and replace floor tile,
rip and replace tile around the tub
rip and replace light fixture
rip and replace mirror
Paint the walls and ceiling

How would you guys price this job out?

A. The best thing in to do is to get free price estimates from contractor directory sites.
I use the renov. experts - they have local contractors that they pre-screen so you only get estimates from those who made the cut.
You can contact them to get free estimates for your job. If you want, here is the link I used - http://best-offers-online.com/estimates

Should I change the tiles in the bathroom first or refinish the bathtub first?

Q. HI! I am planning a small bathroom remodeling project where I would like to have old tiles removed and new tiles set and also bathtub refinished. My question is what should be done first the tiles or the bath tub and why? Thank you very much.
I mean the tiles on the walls surrounding the tub, not the floor tiles. Thanks

A. Rip out the old tiles...
Have the tub done 1st so the whole thing can be re finished.If tiles are up, the refinish can only be done up to that point.
Whether its an old tub, new tub or a re finished tub, the installer is responsible to protect the tub during installation of the new tiles.
