I have a small island in my kitchen (2ft X 5ft) Over that is a drop in the ceiling (a soffit basically) and that has 2 can lights in it.
I got a bid of $850 to remove the soffit, Drywall the hole, "Stucko" the ceiling area to match th erest of the kitchen ceiling, and paint it. This includes mounting a hanging light fixture from the ceiling using the existing wiring from the can lights.
Does $850 (in Indiana) seem reasonable for this type of job?
