The very for estimate I gave when I started this about 6 or 7 months ago was for a deck. I have learned a lot since then. Well i gave my price and told them the steps I would take to perform the job. At this time they had a lot of people all over there house because they were remodeling the whole house. So i gave my estimate and went on my way. I called her back 3 times. I always call back three times to kinda keep the issue at hand. Well they never responded. I just got a call from the Husband. He said he hired oen of the guys that was working on his house to do it. Now get this, It was 1064 sqft. The guy told him that he would charge him 50 bucks labor and the owner pay for materials. I thought just like he did. GREAT DEAL. Well this guy brough a 3000 psi cold water maching out there and put it on pencil and just went to work on the deck at 3000 psi. He wrote his name in it and other stuff in the wood. Then decided that it was to much work and that he was not going to do it anymore and just walked off the job. The owner called me and I told him that it would be close to double the price that i had orginally quoted him because now i have to fix someones mistakes and start from square one. He quickly said what ever it takes just fix my deck my wife is about to kill me. Wife wanted to hire me and the husband hired someone else. So i guess what i want to say is do not worry about people with cheaper prices than you. If someone wants your service they will pay for what they get. BOTTOM LINE. I will take pictures of it when i get a chance.
