Hi,

Labor price is $3,900 and material price is $3,100 for total price of $7,000. What do you guys think of the price? No mark up on the materials.
I understand that the price varies from one region to another, but just wanted to see what you guys thought of the labor price of $3,900 for the scope of work. I had 3 other bids, one came way below, the other was in the same ballpark, and the 3rd was way higher.
Thanks in advance for replies.
