No I haven't. Where are they out of? I will call them next week but I am afraid for such a small job, their drive wouldn't be worth it for what I want to spend.

Another issue I hadn't thought about before, concerning hiring it built. Every piece of material you want to reuse adds labor cost.
I reuse everything I can in building projects. But most times if I were hiring labor, it would cost me more than buying new materials. Last Summer I tore down an old building and reused all the lumber to build a shelter at our camp. If I paid myself $10 per hour, I lost money.

You can't really compare pricing on new construction,especially something that is cookie cutter,to an add on or remodel.Although your project does look pretty straight forward and easy,

That's about an hour and 15 min to 1.5 hrs away. Give or take. I'll still call them anyway. Ain't out anything.

They go all the way to WV by God. They came out here to Medina.

Yea, I ain't worried about being out of their range. I'm worried about being too far for such a small job for them to be able to give me their best price.
