    Cost of adding an archway to an interior wall
    I am looking at installing an archway in a non-loadbearing wall between two bedrooms. I was given an estimate of $650.00 by an independent contractor. Does this sound reasonable?

    That's a very good price
    1st day get materials and set up job cut out wall and wrap new jack studs with drywall set up arch
    ! Day labor $275.00 bare min
    3 more hours touch sanding and re coat.
    5 more hours and finish cleanup etc
    I'm a G.C. and that's sound right on the mark if he is taking it from start to finish and if a big arch that's cheap just for labor to a finish product

    I agree with 21boat but to be sure just ask 2 more contractors for their free bid.
