I think I know ya'lls response, but will toss it out there anyway.

Getting ready to do a small bathroom remodel. Holy cow it's expensive, but I work from home and don't have the luxury of time to do it myself, which I normally would. This a 5x8 bath, basically a rip and replace. Re-bath wants 17-20K WTF? For middle of the road materials, including 2 new doors, I'm in for ~3K. Other estimates for labor have been between 8-13K. Staggering.

I've been referred a super nice, trustworthy and hardworking guy who does really good work, and have seen a couple examples of his work. He just got his green card, is not licensed or insured, but has been doing this for a while.

For labor, he comes in at 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of others, but am I looking at too much risk in the event of an injury or code issue?

Next call is to AAA, which carries my condo insurance, to see what they have to say.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
