[QUOTE="Adower, post: 16499155, member: 34462"] Looking for a little help here. Wife and I are going to get our master bath and guest bathroom remodeled. I am pretty green behind the ears with working on a general contractor. We’ve got 3 bids so far and two of them are pretty close. The third is another 12k above. My wife and I unfortunately liked the third guy the best. He was pretty laid back and gave us a ton of feedback during the walk through. Up front he told us that he was the cheapest and gave us a few addresses where we could walk in the job site. However, his bid was substantially higher. My question for anyone who has been through this is how did you try and negotiate a lower price? I was of the mind set to just tell him that we got two other bids which are almost exactly the same. We want you to do the work but would like to see the price come down in line with the other bids. Keep in mind the other two contractors have excellent references and reviews. Bid 1: 49k Bid 2: 50k Bid 3: 62k Bid 4: TBD - waiting for bid [/QUOTE]
