Is $8,000 to update a bathroom a fair price?
Project Details
I am a first-time homeowner and have been fixing up my house with the help of YouTube and handyman friends. I've been debating on doing a bathroom update but I'm scared of plumbing, which is why I'm on the fence about doing a remodel myself. I'm wondering how people afford renovations casually, especially since I was quoted $8,000-$10,000 for what seemed like pretty basic work.
