If I were you, I'd figure out some basic electrical skills on youtube and do it yourself to be honest.
I don't know about where you live, but here where I'm at, electrians are booked up solid and they are wanting a ton of $$$ for simple stuff.

Update, I did it myself and it works. Looks like shite but it works

ETA:

Materials were about $40, but I bought a set of bits instead of just 1.

Best guess.
Side job price $250 + material.


That's for someone who doesn't really want to do the job, but throws out a number and says frick it.

Local roaming electrical service company $450.


See above.

Not if they are worth anything. Roto-hammer skills are essential to being an all-around residential electrician.

I could do it...materials included...for 175 surface mounted; 225 flush mounted in the brick.

$250 is a fair price.
