Doing storm work.
I’ve got nothing against making a profit. I am in business after all. But some of the numbers I’m hearing to stand a riser back up and replace a weather and meter socket has been on the ridiculous side.
Even with emergency rates, you shouldn’t be paying more than about $1000-1200 for this work.
Get quotes. I know it’s stressful, and you just want your power back on, but don’t spend a ton of money you don’t have to.
Good luck everyone.
