Questions handymen and remodelers ask about this bid

Slab or prehung?

Prehung on a swap of this size. Say it on the bid. Slabs into old jambs are a different price and a different result.

Deposit?

Is this a real quote?

No. The numbers are example figures for a typical job so you can see how a complete estimate reads. Your price is yours.
