You need to understand how this person earns their living and supports their family. Of the $700 installers typically get 40%, 38 in some cases. That's $280 before taxes and around $250 after taxes for something that probably took the better part of a day if not longer. This is provided that none of that $700 went toward materials. So yes you could do it cheaper but a retail installer has to charge prices that ensure they still get paid fairly. If we were to charge your price to do this we spend a day building something and take home $20. That being said stop assuming all shops are out to get people and that we are simply trying to make a living.
