Is this quote fair????

I just received a quote to have my roof wraped in gloss black vinyl. He told me that it would take them about four hours to wrap it and the charge is 65 dollars an hour. Is this too much or just right. If would appreciate any help especially if people that have had this done chime in.



Thanks

I've heard of a guy that wrapped his roof himself in 45 minutes.. Granted he may of rushed it, but 4 hours that seems crazy to me

4 hours is nuts, should be 60 min of labor, $60 for parts.. ~$100 total, maybe $150.

You get what you pay for. Have any of the folks who say it should take only 1 hour ever wrapped a roof? How did it turn out?

Friend wrapped someone's with a sunroof in a hour 15 came out flawless to this day. You get what you pay for? 260 sounds like bullshit to me. Wrapping a roof should be anywhere between 100-130, never more than 150, unless there putting flakes of gold in it somehow

i might do it myself but I'm worried i will mess it up and have to end up getting it professionally done and waste 50 dollars.

Had mine done by a shop that does this all day long. Only took about 45min and was $140. Haven't had any issues at all
