A local second quote, from someone who knows the installation work

Thor Builders LLC is an independent remodeling business based in Medford. This is our own comparison guide, not Powers' website or an independent review of Powers. A request made here goes to Thor Builders.
Tell us what you want changed, share a few photos, and let us know which parts of your existing quote you want clarified. We'll discuss the scope and arrange the next step. You do not need another contractor's quote to contact us.
Christian's experience with Powers Bath & Remodel
Christian previously installed bathrooms for Powers Bath & Remodel in Southern Oregon. That hands-on experience is part of the background he brings to his work at Thor Builders.
Today, when you discuss a Thor project with Christian, you're speaking with the owner responsible for the work. Ask him about your shower layout, the wall material, the shower base, the glass, and how the room will be protected during installation. Those details belong in the conversation before you choose a contractor.
His past work does not make Thor a Powers branch or warranty provider. Each company has its own contracts, scheduling, and responsibilities. Meet Christian and learn how Thor Builders works.
Look closely at current Thor Builders work
The projects below are examples from Thor's current portfolio. They are shown to help you judge the workmanship; they are not presented as former Powers jobs.
A tile shower, a panel shower, and a full-room remodel can be very different projects. Compare a contractor's examples with the actual work you want in your home.
Powers Bath & Remodel and Thor Builders: what to compare
Here is a starting point for your conversations with both companies. Powers information below comes from its Medford service page and company website, checked September 17, 2026. A current written proposal is the place to confirm the details.
| Decision | Thor Builders | Powers: published information and questions to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Local base and coverage | Based in Medford; serving Southern Oregon, including Grants Pass and Ashland. | Lists Bend and Eugene offices and advertises bathroom remodeling in Medford. Ask who will handle your installation and follow-up. |
| Who is responsible? | Discuss the project directly with Christian, the owner responsible for Thor's work. | Ask who scopes your job, who installs it, and whom you contact during the work. |
| Materials and finishes | Discuss tile or grout-free shower walls, the base, glass, fixtures, and any full-room work. | Names Bath Concepts and Delta among its brands. Confirm the exact products in your quote. |
| Schedule | Agree on a schedule for your particular scope before work starts. | Advertises a two-day bath option. Ask which projects qualify and what is included. |
| Price and changes | Get the scope, price, exclusions, and change process in writing. | Request the same written breakdown so both quotes describe equivalent work. |
| Warranty and follow-up | Confirm the applicable labor and manufacturer terms in Thor's written agreement. | Request the labor and material warranty documents, exclusions, and service contact. |
Published office locations do not tell you who will install a particular bathroom. Ask both companies directly. Neither a lower price nor a shorter advertised timeline settles which proposal is right for your home.
Seven things to put beside each other before you sign
- The area being remodeled. Shower only, tub conversion, or the whole room? List demolition, flooring, vanity, paint, and cleanup separately.
- The exact materials. Record the wall system, base, waterproofing, glass, fixtures, and accessories. A material name alone is not a complete specification.
- Plumbing and electrical work. Identify any moves, replacements, permits, and responsibility for arranging the required work.
- What happens behind the walls. Ask how hidden damage is documented, priced, and approved if it is found.
- Access and scheduling. Confirm the start window, expected workdays, and when the bathroom can be used again.
- The payment and change terms. Compare the total scope and payment schedule, not only a monthly payment or promotional discount.
- Written warranty coverage. Separate installation coverage from manufacturer coverage and identify the person to call for service.
Thor does not promise to beat every Powers quote. The useful comparison is whether the work, materials, responsibility, and price make sense together. Read our bathroom cost guide for the decisions that affect the scope.
