I have a brownstone with extensive woodwork that needs some minor to moderate repairs, a very light sanding (it has already been stripped) and to be finished with poly or tung oil.

I just got a quote of $30K from a woodworking firm to do the aforementioned work on our parlor floor. The woodwork on the floor includes two sets of double pocket doors, two windows in the front of the house, a bay window in the rear, three mirrors/mantles, wainscotting around the entire floor, the dumbwaiter, a single pocket door and the entry door from the foyer.

A friend in woodworking told me that the $30K price was waaaay out of line and too expensive.

What says the forum?
