Overpriced Pine Paneling Project?
I am new to handling renovations, and was hoping for some advice regarding the estimate I got for my next project.
My current contractor has completed two jobs for me in the past, and overall does good quality work at a modest pace (we ended up going a week past our agreed upon completion date on the second job).
While I would like to remain as loyal as possible to contractors who have completed work for me in the past, the pricing may be a bit high. I realize this is to be expected, considering the scarcity of free contractors and distance he has to drive from the job. I just want to be sure it is not absurdly more expensive than I should expect.
The estimate is for 15 K, and includes the following (see pasted images below).
Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.
