Bathroom remodel
What moves the number:
- Tub-to-shower conversion vs. keeping the tub
- Tile selection — ceramic vs. porcelain vs. natural stone
- Substrate + waterproofing scope (RedGard / Schluter systems)

Four red flags
Before you sign any quote in CO.
- Quote without a written scope of work — always ask for the line-item scope
- Cash-only deposits — Colorado caps deposits at 10% or $5,000, whichever is less
- No license or insurance proof on request — ask for the cert, not the verbal
- Timeline promises that ignore material lead times
