the plane was done back in 2004 it got caught out with bad hail damage so is it 25k added to the 800-1000 hrs at what rate?or is that 25k for total job take apart redo and but back together best quess?
In the lack of further information, I'll assume you are talking about a J3 that has not been apart for 20+ years.
Paying someone else (your "reputable company") you best figure 800 - 1000 manhours at shop rate - maybe you can cut a flat rate deal? Materials for recover are approx $5k. It's all the other stuff that adds up to the additional $25k.

If anyone in western oregon needs any fabric or full restoration done Dave Adams is a couple weeks away from finishing his work on my PA-12.
Anyone can stop by my hangar in CVO to check his work on my 12 or my friends j-5 that is just about to fly.
Dave works out of his shop in Elmira. He does nice work.
Contact me for his number.
How did it turn out?OK Harry is covering my plane. I will keep you all posted.
