Repair Estimate - Do these numbers make sense?

Felipe Lehn de Carvalho

Hello everyone.

I'm here in the SF Bay Area and starting on this journey... on the first property I came across, I was able to get a contractor to write me an estimate... the property is in very bad shape, but I was wanting to have an idea if the numbers (below) make sense with Bay Area reality...

Would anyone have an opinion on this?

Thank you very much!

Felipe

Even acknowledging that this is 2 buildings those prices are crazy to me.  From reading the work order the buildings will be demo'd down to the studs so everything is exposed.  $30k for rough electrical on a 2 bed/1 bath + 1 outbuilding when its all exposed is laughable.    $6720 for installation of the windows with you purchasing makes me think I am in the wrong field.  Like @Frank Geiger I have a similar cost for windows.  Here in Philly I can get double hung vinyl welded windows installed with caping completed for about $300 per window.  I can go lower if I press and negotiate the price with the sub.  This has to be the "I have more work than I need but if you'll pay it I'll do it" price.  Otherwise known as eff you pricing.
