There was a company that wanted $9k for a few things done around my house. that included panel change/upgrade, 6 pot light upgrade, two lights for backyard and a sensor for staircase. I ended up getting a licensed individual(not a company) who did the work for Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less.

I fully understand that as it is my line of work, but you should let you know the price you got was so high because you get a guarantee with the company and they pull all the permits and paper work associated with your upgrade, you can also sleep well knowing there were no short cuts and there is a company name attached to it. what the licensed guy did was illegal and they could have lost their license if he was caught or if anything went wrong I am one to talk because I also take on side work but I pick and choose who I do it for where as some of my co-workers just advertise online and take on anyone and everyone at least know the person or know the person that recommended you to that person. IMO that's playing with fire when you advertise online how do they now they didn't just take a job from an ESA inspector? then show up with your tools and boom your already done here come the fines etc….

guaranteed quality work comes with a price……..

just to

to tell you the truth $9k sounds about right for what you had done if it was a company. sure side job I could probably do it for 40% of that price but again there is no guarantee with a side job guy and you are then required to pass the work off as your own for the inspector and hydro company before they will turn your power back on

Ontopic: I will be surprised if the price is much better then $2600, anything <$2000 and I would be skeptical……. could turn into more when you go in to pick it up! "well we had to do more of this _______" don't forget elite concepts currently has the kit at their shop and they know what will be required to get this back to "like new" he has been able to go over the kit and knows what is needed. Not to mention you are also getting coil overs and exhaust instal which I know doesn't cost that much but it does add to the total
