Frequently asked questions

How much does prescription cost?
Most prescription falls between $1,049 and $5,140, with a typical figure near $2,322 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing.

Is Prescription cheaper in smaller cities?

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. Providers serving Newfoundland and Labrador can tell you how it affects a typical job.
