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
