How to Read an Installer’s Quote
A good quote lists the product by make and model, what installation includes, the warranty in years for each part, and the total with tax and permits. Compare it with the typical range before you sign.
What it should list
- Make and model, not just “premium tub” or “custom lift”
- Removal of the old fixture and any wall or floor repair
- Plumbing, electrical and permit costs
- Warranty on parts, labor and, for tubs, the door seal
- Start date, how long the work takes, and the payment schedule
Warning signs
- A price that is only good if you sign today
- A large deposit before anything is ordered
- A promise that Medicare will pay for a stair lift, walk-in tub or ramp (it doesn’t)
- No written quote
