Everyone,
Just had a Hearthstone dealer come by to give me an unofficial estimate on installing Heritage. He said I am looking at like $7,000 or so for the entire job. My question is that with a Heritage running about $3,700( with a rear heat shield and outside air kit), doesn't $3,300 sound like a lot for an install including material.
FYI..... My install will be a straight shot of 11ft of 2x wall black pipe running up from the stove inside the house. Then there is any outside SS piping, collars, straps, wall pass through, thimble,flashing, etc. When I ran some loose numbers of material pricing online with woodland direct, I am coming up with maybe $1,000 dollars, give or take.
Since this is my first quote, I just have a tough time seeing that $2,300 is on labor. I had read some online reviews which indicated that the company was notorious for inflating the final price of the job after the install was complete.
Now I am not trying to be cheap, but with everything I have mentioned, it just seems like the $7,000 price tag seems a bit high. I live in the NJ, so if someone could tell me what they paid for their install, esp. If you are in the North East, it would be greatly appreciated. Just trying not to get taken advantage of and keep them honest.
Thanks,
Dom
