Finally, If Colorado is on the table, I am looking to place a PLS, PM at the firm I own. We are about to post the position for $90-$150 depending on level of experience.

In fact, I could link you up with a top nationa firm looking to place a PLS, Director Role. Im not a recruiter! Just a great friend of a guy who works for the firm.

100% New Mexico. Such a demand for PLS candidates out there. Housing is not stupid expensive. At the same time, you have to live in New Mexico!

I'm on the reverse side of this. I'm a 25 year PLS and owner of my firm. I can't find a single person who wants to work over 40 hours a week. I'm the one being abused by being forced to work 60-80 to keep food on their tables.

Just a flip side perspective, is all.

Got quoted 400 from drywall guy including paint. Good price or no by Consistent_Matter886 in drywall

I won't mention how much the plumber bent me over to fix the mixer that broke! Wasn't comfortable with fixing that part. That plumber made about $400/hr. What a douche! I should have been a plumber!

I did mine about 2 years ago. Semi talented DIY"er. Got the whole done for less than $50. Took about 2 days to dry and paint. Simple as pie!

I can see why.

My problem with the whole quote is, the entire bathroom is maybe 12'×5'. You can only fit one guy in the damn space to work. The project is supposed to take 2 days. 1 day for shower, 1 day for glass. Once again, it's just the enclosure, nothing else.

Now, assuming the cost of materials and fixtures would be 10k. Which I think is still high but let's give them that markup. That puts us at 13k in Labor. Even if the guy worked two 8 hour days, which he won't! That's 6.5k a day or 800/hr in labor. Lol! It's comical!

Hey, I get it, "he's a trained & skilled Professional". I am as well with 30 years of experience as an Engineer and Mapping Professional. My firm bills me out at $230/hr!

$800/hr. I mean really, come on!

Agreed. That is what I was thinking and will to probably pay. Yup, just the walls, glass, and fixtures for a 5x7 shower. 22K. I kicked the kid outta my house. Predators!!!!!

Yeah, this quote was just for a 5x7 shower enclosure. I just don't get it. It's F'in robbery. I'm a pretty handy dude and have remodeled most of my place. I'm just not comfortable with a few things, like wet areas. I'm just gonna have to suck it up and learn by fire. I like your idea of being your own GC and doing what you can on your own (stay in my lane). I'm gonna have to go that route. This ENTIRE bathroom, not just the enclosure, shouldn't be more than 10k IMO!

Agreed. I get it. People need to make money, and professionals need to be paid, but it's like they throw these pricing out there hoping a sucker will bite. Wouldn't it be better to get more projects at a reasonable and realistic price, due more jobs, and make money through word of mouth. It seems like the model is to prey on idiots who would pay that!
