Estimates free or not ?
Customers are surprised when a contractor asks for payment before they even meet them and are confused about why they have to pay an estimate fee for looking at work? Don't they want to work? Of course we do!
However, often customers are not sure if they are even going to hire anyone or find the price too high, or sometimes they need estimates for loans and insurance reports.
We always want to provide the best service possible, and when we are performing estimates on small projects under $500, it takes a lot of time away from customers who have approved work and need to get it done quickly. Every company has they policy in place for a good reason and it will be up to the customer to decide!
