Contractors quote for adding pillars
Hey guys I’m located in middletown, New Jersey and I just received a quote for adding 4 pillars and reinforcing a girder/joist. I wanted to post the quote here and see if the price is in line. If not, does anyone have a good contractor they would be willing to refer?
The estimate is as follows:
1) “dig 18”x18”x12” footings, install four #4 rebar reinforcements and fill using 4000 psi concrete. Build CMU 12x16 pillars from new footing to bottom of existing main girder.”
The cost for this is quoted at $5,000.
2) “reinforce main girder to meet current building standards. “
The cost for this is quoted at $1,850.
3) “sister existing floor joists where notched and structurally compromised”.
The cost for this is quoted at $550.
