How much does it cost to have my 350 rebuilt? How much extra would it cost to have it bored out .030 over?

Of coarse it all depends on what you are having done. Are you looking for performance or a stocker? To go .030 over it usually costs around $10-12.00 a hole. Make sure you bring the pistons you will be using so they can be mic-ed and the cylinders bored accordingly.
Northern Auto Parts has a 350 engine kit at a great price if you aren't going to radical. The last time I looked it was $169.95: that included pistons, rings, all the bearings, cam & lifters, oil pump, timing set, freeze plugs & a complete gasket set. They also have the option to upgrade a parts as well.
You could build yourself a really nice .030 over 350 for about $1,200.00.

After getting prices of a complete re-build including any work the cylinder heads may need compare the costs to this suggestion: At your local Chevrolet parts counter pick up a copy of the 2007 GM Performance Parts catalog. The part number for this great $5.00 book is:19170580. If they don't have it they'll get it for you.
In this catalog you will see many versions of complete or partial 350 motor assembly's. They all carry GM's 2 year or 24,000 mile warranty. Every part is new, no re-manufactured or rebuilt motors.
Don't get me wrong a rebuilt engine is wonderful if you know who's doing the job, the equipment being used to do the work and the care of the block preparation and the proper selection of top shelf aftermarket parts.
The re-man motors all have pretty much low dollar pistons, rings, rods, crankshafts, bearings rod, main and cam, timing chains and gears, push-rods, lifters, camshaft, rocker arms, valves and you have no idea without taking the heads off and apart weather the valve guides are within exact specification. Also weather of not the cylinders have the proper finish to match the ring manufacturer's suggested spec.
