Frequently asked questions

How much does travel cost?
Most travel falls between $1,010 and $3,938, with a typical figure near $1,994 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in New York City.
What affects the price of travel?
The honest answer is that it depends on the specifics. Compare the written scope first, then the price. Local providers in New York City can confirm how that applies to your area.
Is Travel 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. In New York City, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit.
How many quotes should I get for travel?
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. The answer can shift with the New York City market, so check locally.
