So many people delighted to spend $10,000 to repair a small shower! 

To our delight, our house just appraised for 234K and now we have the option of pulling much more equity than we thought.  

That is an eye opener for me.I work in San Antonio and I think the highest slab foundation repair quote I've ever been given was 15K, for a house where the foundation was so off the roof was caving inward.Typically for what you described the cost in my location would be somewhere between 8-12K with an engineers report and 5 year real warranty included.That may be a normal price for your area, but as others have mentioned certainly get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion and negotiate as well.

Hasim, congratulations on your decision to build wealth through real estate.I would be delighted to have a phone conversation with you. 

Hardwood is delightful - - until it gets scratch or stained - - and then too the lower units hear the clomp-clomp of the upper tenant and it leads to discontent and more move-outs.
