Thanks a ton for your time!. That's a great breakdown of costs. I will use this as a reference point when getting more bids. 

Thanks for confirming what I suspected! This quote is crazy 

Wow that's a huge drop. 

Thank you.

@Caleb Heimsoth

I am out of state from NJ, maybe that inflates their quotes, not sure.

@Steve K. Thanks. The home is grounded to plumbing. Atleast thats what the home inspector told me.

It is my assumption that there is grounding on all the 2 prongs- but being a novice, i could be completely wrong.  Some outlets in the home are 3 pronged.

@Brian Pulaski

Yes It was an apples to apples bid- have a written SOW.  I guess Ill get some references from their past clients.

@Daniel Mast thanks., It seems like I am being charged more to the tune of 550$/square.
