$3,000 was the lowest quote, bundled all together.
FL is very cheap with labor. . . cost of living and labor force supply difference. .
just an example of how cheap FL labor can be, as the cost of living and supply of labor is completely different, plumbers in MA are much scarcer. . The copper is no longer sweated together, all plumbing connections are now compression fit. much safer, and much easier. .
