$3150.00???? For a nc full rough in and trim including service?

:eek:
Yeah man, it will take 1 long day to rough and a day to finish with me and my helper. Some money is better than no money... The service is just a PVC sweep from the panel through the footing, DWP will bury a cable and pull up into the panel..
:eek::eek::eek:

That's some "competitive" pricing for sure.
You quote electrical per foot?
Well, i feel sorry for those bidding against him. How do you compete with that and make money. I just sold 100amp service for a grand, he is doing whole house and service for $3.000
Ci Senior bueno price for customer. Now they'll expect it on the next one, or worse- from the next contractor.
I just noticed something pretty funny. Without anyone here using certain words, look at what the "tags" are at the bottom of the screen.

I hope you are seeing the same ones I am. No offense Zinsco.

Bottom feeder, hack, and lowballer. Those the ones you mean. :clap::laughing:

What's "w/FAU"?
Forced Air Unit
I removed some tags as they are not appropriate.

Thanks Leo, From what I know of Zinsco, he knows his stuff and is in no way a hack. I just was amazed that some computer system decided to automatically label the post with those tags.
Yes sorry i wasn't meaning anything towards the OP.
Tags are place manually by posters.

Wow, I had no idea. I thought some computer did that automatically.
Give it a try, you can always remove it. If you put up a thread and you want it found by search engines this is a helping hand.

How?
Bottom right. In the same area as the tags. Sometimes it is hard for me because I have some different screens then the normal posters because I am a Mod.
