I wonder if RemodelUSA knows what a poor customer experience it is to send a chatty salesperson to your house to take measurements and discuss design ideas for nearly two hours then subject you to another near-two hours on the phone with another person who asks you to take measurements again and discuss design ideas. It wasn’t in my evening plans to discuss how deep I wanted the bathtub and the color of tiles. We nearly choked when they finally gave us the quote—easily two-thirds what we would spend on refinishing the entire basement. How much is too much to spend on a master bath remodel? Left me with a pounding headache, the only cure for which was a hot sex episode of Bridgerton.

Yes, I’m keenly aware of how petty and selfish this all sounds when hundreds of thousands of people are out of work and others dying. I can live a little longer with my hideous bathroom.
