I am trying to gain some perspective on whether the quote below is at least reasonable. This contractor has a great reputation, is licensed and insured, and I expect to use him again for other work, so I would like to go with him so long as the quote is in a range of reasonableness. I need to have this work done next week so I really don’t have the time to bring in a bunch of other quotes, but will if the quote below is way out of line.
I am having a hot tub installed in an enclosed patio. The installation is covered in the hot tub price, but I need to provide the electrical hook-up. Also, my door to the enclosed patio is too low so I need to have the door removed and the header cut out to allow the 7’ tub to get in. Since the door is in bad shape, I am having a new door and header installed after the tub is in. The new door (~$200) is included in the quote below.
The electrical hook-up will run from my circuit box, underground to a 3’ wide walkway, go under the walkway, and continuing underground to the patio where it will come through the wall to the tub connection. The electrical cable must be minimum 240v/50 amp 3 wire plus ground (#6 AWG copper), and will be about 60’ long.
I would appreciate any input from those here who have some experience in this kind of work.
Thanks!
