Comments (2)We just used the Wild Hog product for our porch on our new build. There are products that are less expensive but they aren't powder coated.

Comments (48)I understand that OP needs it to be cheap until closing because this is a lender requirement (not unusual) and if it is fixed before closing, it becomes a fixture and stays with the property even if the buyer doesn't close.

Plus maybe another 500-1000 for handling others materials fee. So maybe around the ballpark of 2500-3500 base for labor?" You are breathtakingly mistaken.

This can be 33% or more. What, his truck to get to the job runs on air? The insurance on my trucks are $14.00 a day for each. People have no idea how expensive running a business is. The guy who rebuilt the stair at $5,800.00 is going broke. He may limp along, but he's certainly never going to be able to retire....See MoreKristin S
