# La Cornue range relocation and leveling cost

### The number that explains this figure

1320 lb crated, 710 lb without the crate, on a Grand Palais 180. Even a Grand Castel 90 is about 330 lb uncrated. That is equipment and people rather than enthusiasm, and it is the only job on this site where mass rather than access sets the price. Everything else about a La Cornue is repaired from the front with the range where it stands, which is the whole design intention — these were built to be serviced in place for decades.

What moves this figure

from $395 — enough people and the right equipment

Gas and electrical disconnected and remade, never stretched

Leveled to specification and proved with water on a shelf

A Castel 60 at 331 lb and a Grand Palais at 710 are different numbers of people.

Floor protection, doorways, thresholds. Most damage on this job happens in the corridor rather than in the kitchen.

Out and back for a floor repair is not the same as into another room.

What has to be disconnected

Gas, electrical, and on some installations the hood duct as well.

What we find behind it

A connector kinked on installation day is often discovered here, and correcting it is cheaper while the range is out.

### Can two of us not just slide it out?

Please do not. Half a ton on adjustable legs, on a tile or stone floor, with a gas connector behind it, is how floors get gouged, legs get bent and connectors get strained — and a strained gas connector is not a problem you find out about immediately. If it genuinely has to move before we get there, turn the gas off at the appliance valve first.

### Do you re-level it afterwards or is that extra?

It is the job, not an extra. A range that has been moved and not re-leveled cooks unevenly, and since La Cornue's own test for level is a dish of water on an oven shelf, proving it takes about two minutes. Anybody who moves one of these and does not do that has not finished.
