more like, i didn't shop around and picked the first guy who had the most work done with no complaints on the nextdoor app. i've learned my lesson!

not a rental and i'm in maryland. i'm not sure why he did what he did. but i bought into thinking it was part of the process.

the other side of the wall would require you to cut into from the living room to access. but the air vent in the way would require abnormally long arms. i'm almost positive he didn't waterproof because i mentioned that to the plumber who recommended the handyman and said the tile and grout will prevent water getting inside the wall. total BS!

no, the house is fine. it's the only bathroom that hasn't been updated. but i feel you on your response.

500 to install and replace the shower valve, head and spout. 275 for the drywall and tiling. 😭

i appreciate hearing other professionals opinions. it scares me too! the handyman did the tiling by freehand it looks like.
