The rough estimate provided on the morning of the service was $700. My own mental estimate was $500, so $700 did not sound out of line, but the final bill came in at over $1100, and I was never presented with the higher cost until after the work was already completed. The electrician that performed the work was Derek McGriff. He did a great job, and I would happily have him work on my home again, but not as part of Tann Electric; their prices are simply too high. Derek priced everything according to the company guide. He mentioned that the 240V 50 amp GFCI breaker ended up costing more than anticipated, accounting for most of the cost overrun. The breaker was expensive, but the markup at Tann is what drove the price up higher than what is reasonable. The exact same breaker (same make/model) at Home Depot is $90, Tann charged me $300, a 229% markup. The next highest ticket item was 40 feet of 6/3 wire, which retails for $1.46 per foot, and Tann charged me $7.31, which is a 400% markup. You may be wondering (like I was) "what is the normal markup for materials?" A search on the internet found two different schools of thought. Some electricians use a standard markup of 25-35%, while others use a sliding scale. The sliding scale is regressive, meaning low cost items have a much higher markup than higher ticket items. One guide I found would markup a $1 item by a factor of 2.8, while a $90 item would be marked up by 1.7. The $90 circuit breaker would therefore cost me $153. Both of those markup systems are still providing the electrician a very healthy margin. Mind you, I?m computing these numbers over the retail cost someone pays walking into Home Depot. An electrical contractor should be buying these items at a significant discount from full retail. Tann?s labor rate is $98 dollars per hour. This is at the upper end of the scale, but not a major complaint of mine. What I do bristle at is being charged for the time spent acquiring the material. Nearly everything needed to do the job could have been ascertained before arriving, but even if there was something the electrician needed, I don?t believe that should be added in to the labor hours. Think of when you take your car to a mechanic for service. The repair shop uses industry standard labor times based on the estimate of what the job entails. A brake job might be 2 labor hours. If the garage needs to do a parts run to pick up brake pads, it?s still 2 labor hours. If the mechanic is super efficient and completes the work in 1.5 hours you are still charged 2 hours, which is their reward for being good at what they do. Bottom line: Good work, terrible price."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ks/lenexa/tann-electric-reviews-359114.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"PORTWOOD'S MOBILE WELDING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"KS","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin W."},"reviewBody":"Called to make sure someone would be at the welding shop before making the long trip, was informed someone would be there.

We knew going in that the space we had was twice the size of the specifications in the coupon deal, and that we wanted several upgrades, which would increase cost. After consulting with Allan, who was understanding about our desire to delay starting work due to unexpected family illness, we considered and decided to expand the project further, to include a movable island work surface and to upgrade the countertops to quartz to suit our taste, as well as to vastly improve our entire home by partially removing the short wall between the living room and the kitchen. Allan worked with us to facilitate a move of a freestanding freezer from our kitchen to the garage. We chose to match the new ceilings in the kitchen, by having them scrape and retexture the ceilings in the living room and hallway, which adjoined the kitchen. We further enhanced our homes' new look with new interior doors, which they installed for us and then we chose to paint them ourselves. (A great thing for us as it is something we can do and wanted to do.) They retextured and repaired a couple of cracks in the living room where our house had settled, and then we painted the living room and hallway and entryway. They also installed a pendant light in our entryway. Our experience was really good. Allan initially, and as situations arose, offered options for design solutions in our kitchen, then when we caught our own vision he was accommodating to our desires, including the choice of countertop material and color, paint choice, type and size of backsplash tile. This changed the pricing in some cases, as was necessary and fair. Though we had never before taken on a project of this size, we were comfortable from the very early days with Allan and Chris being in our home. Because my husband was out of town on business for days at a time during the project, they both ended up having to discuss details with me, throughout the project. I could imagine types of people that would have made that unpleasant, uncomfortable, or unbearable, but these are good, hardworking guys who care about the details and are good people to have around. The subcontractors also were good, including the countertop installers and Dave, who installed the beautiful hardwood floors. We anticipate having Allan and Chris do other remodeling projects for us in the future. We highly recommend AA."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ks/leavenworth/aa-construction-and-remodeling-llc-reviews-2086616.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Larry L.

FAQs for porcelain refinishing projects in Satanta, KS
The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
