What this figure includes
Bathroom remodeling as defined in the survey, distinct from its room-additions-and-renovations category.
The Census category is “Bath” within “Remodeling.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.
Use it beside a written scope
Does the quote change room area, layout, systems or finishes, and which changes are included?
A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.
Start with the material calculator to put measured quantities next to the scope. Then use the matching quote worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
