Is $800 to drain a heating zone and cut baseboard piping a fair price?
Project Details
I need to remove a baseboard pipe to do some work on the joists/sill/rim. I am considering doing the cut and drain myself to save money but am balancing a renovation budget. I plan to outsource the reconnection later.
