Hi,
I have had a water leak from my water heater. I have received a quote which seems very high from a contracter to perform the following repair:
Garage:
Drain, disconnect and move hot water tank (50 gallon) and stand.
Remove damaged dry wall - approx. 8' x 2' high
Check framing for any damage
Clean and sea; exposed framing, as necessary.
Replace removed drywall
Fire tape drywall
Reset and restart hot water tank
Closet:
Check walls and floor for any remnant moisture
Install new carpet pad
Install customer provided carpet approx. 6' x 3'.
How much should I be paying? ball park.
I live in WA state.
Thank you,

I don't know what the cost should be, but this not a one day job. It will take a few days and several trips to get all this finished. The drywall repair will take a couple of trips itself as the drywall mud takes hours to dry and usually is done over a couple of days as it is not realistic to stand there and wait for the mud to dry.
Hope this helps shed some light on the cost.
