Common questions
How long does it take?
Two to four days for most homes.
Can I get a second opinion on a replacement quote?
Yes, and you should on a job this size. A second set of eyes on the scope often saves thousands.
Why is Manhattan more expensive?
Parking, building rules, insurance certificates and travel time add to the pro's cost, so prices there typically run 10% to 20% higher.
