    Is this Flooring Estimate A Good One?

    Good Afternoon,

    In my home, I have stairs (12) that are old and squeaky and want to get them fixed.

    A contractor came in and gave me an estimate for $2450 and that the job could take 1 to 2 days. This estimate includes:
    - Pull carpet/padding off of stairs
    - Inject glue at openings and insert screws around perimeter of all steps
    - New Carpet
    - Install new carpet on stairs/reuse existing padding
    - Clean up and haul away of job related debris

    What do you think? Is this competitive?

    What your asking is difficult to give an accurate answer on. Many things can determine the costs, location and carpet quality/cost are two that head the list.
    Having said that, I believe that $2450 does seem high for a fairly simple job.

    Your best option is to get a second and maybe a third quote BEFORE signing any contracts.
    Little about a lot and a lot about a little.
    Every day is a learning day.
