New home owner who has never had to hire a contractor before. Want to have chain link fence replaced and want to have put in white vinyl fence to match connected town home.
It is just a 40 foot length I need replaced and will need to have one gate. As I get quotes, what kind of price should I expect to pay? What’s considered fair and what’s considered a rip off?
EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! I think I’m not in the right tax bracket to hire people to do this, so probably going to try to do it myself.
Holy shit. Is late stage capitalism regressing?!?
The more unaffordable services are, the more we DIY, the more we become self sufficient, the less we need to buy, the more companies have to do to gain our business, the lower prices get, the more we buy, the lazier we get, the oh fuck, we’re back where we started. Nevermind.
Supply and demand! Everyone went to college and is looking for white collar jobs, thus there is a labor shortage in the construction/contracting industry that is leading to rising prices. Getting a job in the trades is pretty solid right now.
