| Any contractors/electricians want to weigh in on this:
I need to replace the undercabinet florescent lamps that were installed last fall in our new kitchen. Our contractor has abandoned us and the warranty on his work is still good. I want to calculate the cost of replacing the lamps (all but one of which have gone out) and bill our contractor. The hard wiring should still be good--it's just a year old. My feeling is that we were sold a pack of lemon lamps being that simply replacing the bulbs doesn't solve the problem. My question is basically this--what would you charge for labor to remove the old lamps--there are 7--and install the new ones? We live in New York City. Thanks in advance for any advice. cNYC |

| I'm not a local contractor, so I cannot be of any direct assistance on this work, but I would estimate that the job you have described should take between 3 and 4 hours at your local contract work rate. Good Luck with your repairs! Frank |
