Is this repair quote fair?
Hi all,
Getting some work done this week and would appreciate a second set of eyes on this cost estimate. Does $1450 seem fair for this amount of work? That is for labor for 2 guys and they said they can do the work in 3 days. He didn't itemize costs just sent me a text saying they could do it for $1450...
- replace front and back doors and door frame (2)
- plumbing/wiring for Washer/Dryer hookups
- get kitchen outlets up to code so appliances work safely
- paint and add knobs to kitchen cabinets
- kitchen sink fix (replace faucet)
- insulation of windows - plastic lining
- make sure smoke detectors are working/to code
- get garage door working - needs to be hooked back up
- exterior siding cleaning OR painting
Let me know if you think this sounds reasonable or not...

Yes.
You are getting them for roughly 45/hour, 8 hour days.
You can find handyman for cheaper but you get what you pay for.
I recommend doing some of the easy stuff yourself to save money:
window insulation
cabinet knobs
smoke detectors
