Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

We need to hire a contractor to replace our home's weatherstripping. How much should we pay?

We got an estimate but we dont know how much we really should be paying. We got a quote of $250 for 2 doors. Is that too much?

  1. there's no way of telling from here - too much variation in prices between cities, states, parts of the world, etc. rather than asking in here, i'd ask in my neighborhood, go to a hardware store and ask a freindly clerk. and by all means, get 3 estimates. won't cost you anything and may save you hundreds.
  2. The weatherstripping on exterior doors is rather easy to replace, but the parts can start to add up. The door jamb weatherstripping can be from 5-15 per piece, and you would need 3 pieces total. Are they replacing the door sill weatherstripping? Add another 10-15. Are they adding a door sweep? Add another 10-15. 250 sounds a little on the high side to me, the job shouldnt take more than a couple of hours
