I want to relocate my welder, and compressor to my detached garage. I had an electrician give me a price, and I just wanted to see if it seems reasonable. The garage is about 75 feet from the house. He's going to supply all the parts, (wire, outlets, junction boxes, breakers, etc. for a 60 amp service), for around $800.00. He said that the cost of wire has sky-rocketed,(and I don't doubt it with the prices I've seen for scrap metal), but does his price seem reasonable? Thanks!

I am also an electrician, looks like we have a few on here. That is a great deal he is giving you. Just run #2 wire and you will be fine. Agreed on the price of copper. It went through the roof this year, but it has come down some.
