Is $5,000 to remove tiled hearth and level floor a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner is preparing a nursery in a historically protected home. A non-functioning fireplace hearth creates a tripping hazard at the room's entrance, which is exacerbated by the placement of a nursing chair and a twin bed for a parent on duty. The room is narrow with limited electrical outlets and structural constraints due to brick exterior walls.
