Jesus Christ. 35-40k. I'm hoping that even if there's some need for adjustment, I don't get any proposals over 5k. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but this house is also only about 30 years and not 150, ha.
I hadn't seen that company pop up in the search, so I'll give them a call Monday. I appreciate it!
The first words out of your mouth in this post were the same as mine. I was just saying that I have a beam or two that are compromised due to termites and there is no way to get a beam under the home without a lot of digging on 18" exterior walls with unknown depths. That was also a worst case price including beam replacements that they didn't really expect to replace. Also, zero access, and 18" of crawl space, removal of about 35 kick legs, etc etc. remember, I have no piers at all outside of big rocks during early construction. So there is a crap ton of dirt that must be removed to pour true piers and that dirt has to come out in buckets. Just a ton of labor in general for this particular case. Baird seemed unphased or concerned about the job.
I would expect a more standard job to be much much cheaper.
