Is $600 to diagnose electrical issues with 2 outlets and 1 recessed light a fair price?
Project Details
While my husband and I consider ourselves pretty handy, we don't have any experience with electrical. We live in an older home and have been having a few minor things pop up. We were taken aback by the price and are looking to educate ourselves better on whether this price is standard or if this is something we could handle ourselves.
