Comparing quotes
- Set your own allowances for tile, vanity, faucet, toilet and glass and give the same numbers to everyone.
- Ask specifically whether the shower glass is factory coated - the answer varies and the price difference is small.
- Ask who is doing the plumbing and for the Illinois plumbing licence number.
- Ask what is excluded. In older Peoria houses, galvanized pipe and subfloor repair are the usual two.
- Ask about lead times on tile and glass. Glass is measured after the tile is set, so it is always the last item and often the delay.
