Also it will take about a day to complete - so give him 8 hours of work and a couple hours for prep = $1200 / 10 hours = $120 / hr ( nice shop rate)  |
That sounds about right considering what I paid. Don't forget the $1200 includes the materials too. It's not as simple as dividing it by $1200.
Yes, there were other cheaper places around, but I really wanted Jeff's product, ventureshield. Also, after ready all his reviews on other forums, I also wanted an installer I knoew I wouldn't have a single issue with. As I mentioned before, right after the install, a piece lifted and they replaced it without a single question.
I'm a fair believer in the profecy "you get what you pay for", and I will fork out a few extra dollars for a shop I am certain I will have no issues with.
You can go elsewhere and save a few $100, but will you get the ventureshield (some are perfectly happy with 3M - not me) and will you get a perfect install?
