Is $200 to install a safety rail on slate tile shower walls a fair price?
Project Details
My husband and I are in our late 50s/early 60s; he is recovering from triple bypass, and I am disabled. We are trying to age in place and are taking preemptive cautions like installing safety rails in our shower. I have some experience with stone work as a hobbyist and know that slate requires all holes to be drilled with a mortar bit kept as wet as possible. The guy seemed to know what he was doing, but also asked how many spare tiles we had. I am shocked by the price of $200 per bar and am wondering if it's a good price.
