He gave me an estimate of $225 to install the faucet and $385 to install the shower. Then he told me that the ones we bought we not good quality, mostly plastic and that the lifetime warranty does not really work becasue you have to uninstall everything in order to get it replaced. They're both AMerican Standard
I think the estimate was ridiculously high and the stuff he tried to sell me was better quality but super expensive. Any thoughts or advice?
Sounds like he trying to rake you over the coals. Go back to HD, buy a basin wrench and some plumber's putty and install it yourself. It's not brain surgery. Just follow the directions.
