estimates. 2) Get references from each contractor. 3) Insist that each
contractor have his insurance agent send a Certificate of Insurance.
After you get estimates, it is possible to call a supply house & learn the
cost of materials. If you do that, remember that most contractors mark up
materials to defray costs that can not easily be included in the direct
cost of installing the door. One rule of thumb that some contractors use
is that the total job should cost about 3 times the cost of materials.
That isn't a hard & fast rule, but rather a guideline.
