Is $6,000 to install 24 pot lights throughout the home a fair price?
Project Details
I hired a general contractor who then hired an electrician and his helper. The electrician's helper drilled holes in my studs in a way I wouldn't have, butchering the corner stud and splitting adjacent ones. I'm concerned if this requires extra framing work. They also started the rough-in work before the permit application, submitted about a week ago, was approved.
