Is $25,000 to install a fireplace a fair price?
Project Details
I received a quote for a fireplace installation today that seems outrageous to me, but I'm not an expert in this area. I was worried I might not have provided enough information initially. I am currently getting more quotes lined up. While I am an experienced homeowner, having flipped several homes and completed two major overhauls, I haven't dealt with fireplace installations before.
