Did my Mother overpay for a simple ethernet job? - eviltoast

My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I’m shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.

I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?

    Low Voltage tech here, telephone, computer networking and fire/burg alarms. I find most my work on 3rd party platforms, Field Nation for example is one of the largest 1099 markets to pair providers looking for technicians. Just be sure to screen the resources your looking for, because Field Nation doesn’t really validate anyone’s claim to skillsets.
