Is $9,500 to install a bulkhead including excavation, foundation cut, and stairs a fair price?
Project Details
I am putting a bulkhead into my home in the New England area (urban suburban, not CT or Boston). I am comparing a quote from a company against a local independent handyman for the door installation portion.
