$17k quote to replace a shower insert?
​
The insert I found at a kitchen and bath place sells for $1300. I had a GC stop by to give me a quote to install it. I was expecting it to come in around $4k max. He wants $17k. Does this sound right?
This is the work he is quoting
Demo, remove and dispose of existing tub/shower unit and associated drywall
Remove existing trim and set aside for reinstall (there is no trim?)
Install new water and drain lines for new shower
Install new 4-piece Fiberglass shower ($2000 material allowance)
Install shower base molding
Install 1/2" moisture-resistant drywall on affected bathroom walls
Tape, mud, and sand all drywall surfaces to a Level 4 finish
...This proposal does not include any painting
Reinstall existing trim
