Have you worked with both? Did Williams and Son do work for you personally?
Planned on doing the research. Was hoping that someone could provide good/bad experiences they had in the past. Thanks for contributing nothing to the conversation.
Do recommend - cast iron shower pan.
Thanks, if we had that to begin with I wouldn't be in this situation...

Yes, I worked with both. Both times a master bath remodel (different houses).
Do recommend - cast iron shower pan.
Absolutely.
The little mosaic tiles look great for a year or two.
Also:
Recommend:
- Name brand fixtures (not 'these are as good as Kohler' fixtures).
- name brand copper piping or PEX piping.
Don't recommend:
- black steel piping.
I'm estimating i'll be out $10-$15k based on nothing more than an uneducated guess. Does that seem like ballpark based on your past experience?
Currently have a huge Jacuzzi that I would want to replace with a nice clawfoot tub and a fiberglass walk in shower surround that I want to tear out and have a nice tile walk in. Other than that it would just be tiling the floor and replacing the vainity, mirror and light fixture.

That guess is probably low, depends if you have them do all the finishing work such as trim/painting etc.
I had a bathroom done a few years back except I did all the trim work, painting, hanging mirror and this cut $3k off the price.
I'd like to do as much as I can. I can do all of the demo, painting etc. We would ideally like tile wainscoting as well so trim wouldn't be necessary.

Do recommend - cast iron shower pan.
Care to elaborate? I'm sure they are still made, but I can't say I have seen one for sale or installed in 20+ years. Iron is good for heat retention, so I get using them in a tub, but it's not going to buy you much in a shower pan except that the enamel will likely hold up better than acrylic or fiber glass.
If you think you need one for the weight, you don't. Properly installed a fiberglass pan will support a 500lb person (but you do need to set them in mud for extra support).
That would be the plan. Once we get a layout/plan that we like I would rip everything out so they could start with a clean slate. Only thing that I foresee as a PITA is the Jacuzzi tub with tile surround. That's going to be a biatch to get out/cut up.
