Is this price OK?

New zone to be added. Area is about 30x20. Existing valve box is 5 feet from area. All spray heads. Obviously a manifold rebuild of some kind. I'm not sure what is involved regarding wiring...controller is 50' away with conduit running to valve box. $1500. Not lookin to nickel and dime anyone, just curious.

I could be wrong, but I think the most important person to ask if that number is OK would be the customer.

Sounds good to me. Leary zone numbers.

Consider the time of year. Bids right now are going to run at a premium. If you did get a low bid from somebody needing work THEN BEWARE. If you want a better price from a good contractor then you need to shop in the winter.

I wouldn't add a zone for less than about $1200 on an existing system. We actually never bid them, we do them straight T&M, you never know what you're really going to encounter until you start digging and I'm not going to lose my ass because I guessed wrong.

Same here.
We may give an estimate but the billing is T&M.
