This would be like making an estimate over the phone. Without seeing the exact situation it is impossible to tell. It does seem a little high, but specific circumstances could alter that impression. Get a couple of additional quotations and see what the range is. : I have a quote in Asheville, NC for $3800 to: : 1. Rough in all water and waste in new basement bath. : 2. Install 1 sewage ejector pump (Zoeller 1/2 hp package - roughly $475 most places I've seen) : 3. Set owner provided fixtures. : 4. Obtain permits and inspections. : I will do all the concrete busting and site prep. Time estimate for 1 plumber is 3 days (granted, this is just an estimate)... there are seven 90 degree turns total and a 14 feet rise to the stack...I live in town...drive time is negligable. : Does this quote seem a bit high? Simple math says yes but I know there are many variables here and a pretty nasty job so I don't want to go chasing multiple quotes if this seems reasonable... : Thanks for the input...
