Looking for licensed plumbers

[Jim Kalish]

Hi Charlotte BP family.  I'm hoping I can get a budget price from a couple of licensed plumbers in our area so I can decide if I want to go forward with a project. I won't hold you to the number.  Just looking for a budget.  I have a small single family 3bd - 1-1/2 bath on a crawl.  The 1/2 bath backs up to a closet that is 28x54.  I did the layout and a 32x54 pan will fit.  So the idea is to remove the petition wall between the 1/2 bath and the closet and close up the closet door.  I would do all the demo and carpentry including installing the backer board and the tile.  What I would want the plumber to do is install the pan (I'll supply it) and do the rough and final.  I do want to permit this project.  I will supply all the material except what you will need for the drain/waste line and the hot and cold lines in the wall.  The new shower drain will be 3' from the the existing drain for the tub in the bathroom which is just on the other side of the wall.  Not sure if you will need a vent.  Please advise on this.  If you need a simple sketch I can supply that.  If I go forward with the project I'll definitely invite you to bid.  My plumber is now working for a bigger company so he isn't as available as he used to be so I'm looking for a good plumber to add to the team.

Thanks for the help,

Jim
