Are tile showers stupid competitive in your area? Most all the guys who do tile showers in my area are either subs for a flooring retailer or work directly for a flooring retailer as installers. (But they are all 1099's even if they are employees) On the labor end all the quotes I come across seem way low to me. I can only conclude that the money must be in selling the tile products and supplies. I'm not a distributor and am wondering if its even worth messing with tile showers anymore. I don't care to compete on the labor end being that my overhead is higher as a full service remodeler and I'm more ambitious in what I want to make money-wise. I know I'm at a disadvantage being that I'm not a flooring retailer/distributor with buying power. So I pretty much know I'm going to get beat on materials as well as labor if I have to compete on price point. Obviously I can sell myself from other aspects and I still do land a few showers, but it is a small percentage and I waste a lot of time looking at them and estimating. I'm wondering if its worth it. Just wanted to start a discussion and see if anyone had any thoughts experience on the subject...
