POV: What Calling an Electrician looks like, How much would Charge/Pay for a Ceiling Fan, Thoughts?

What happens here

Based on the collected information (20-foot ceiling, switch installation with three wires), the apprentice provides an estimate for the ceiling fan installation. He quotes a price of '$1290.00 + Tax,' stating that this covers all labor, material costs, and the service call fee.

Goal: Offer the customer a preliminary cost for the service.

And that's all labor, material costs, and service call fee. >> Okay, I'm breaking character now. You're telling me that's all you would charge [music] is 1290?
