Frequently asked questions

Providers price risk as well as work. A job with unknowns costs more to guarantee, which is why two quotes for the same request can differ so much. For your area, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.

Is Extensions cheaper in smaller cities?

Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. The specifics vary across your area, so confirm them with the provider you hire.

How many quotes should I get for extensions?

Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Where you are in your area can change the detail, so compare nearby quotes.

These are planning ranges drawn from public price data and market research. They are not a quote, an offer or financial advice, and your actual price depends on the provider, the location and the scope of the work.
