Are you supplying all the materials? Thats just for his time and effort, right?
Honestly I would spend that much on a handyman doing regular house improvements without a problem for 8 hours of work. I figure that compared to buying the right tools, googleing how to use them, and then waging war against them contrary to all safety advice is simply just not worth it.
And its always cheaper to pay someone to do it the first time, then to pay someone to fix it once I mess it up.
