Very true - the trades are quite busy right now. I'll also add that some guys will quote an outrageously high price simply because they really don't want to do it. If by chance somebody accepts their high-ball quote, they make a killing.Nothing against the tradespeople in general, but anyone in the trades right now is just throwing numbers out to see what sticks. Easier to land a few whales that overpay for a quick job than try to schedule out lower margin reasonable cost jobs.
I ended up paying $800 for mine because I didn’t want to wait. Guy took half a day and it was legit 20 feet of run. 12 feet straight from panel through a basement drop ceiling, 8 feet straight up garage wall.
Should have been $300 or $400 but I didn’t want to wait 2 months.
