Buy-plus-install: what retailer bundles actually cost you
Big retailers increasingly sell installation with the product. That can be convenient — but the labor line inside those bundles isn't priced against local market rates, and it's rarely assigned to the subcontractors rated highest in your neighborhood. SpokeHub is not affiliated with any of these companies; this list is a practical reference so you can compare before you buy.
