As you’re shopping around, what I can tell you is this: we’re always reasonable, but rarely the low bidder… and there is a good reason for that. We don’t play games with our bids. The number you get is everything we know you’re going to need to give you the pool, spa, fountain and/or landscaping that you’ve asked for.
One of the things people hate about contractors is there always seems to be unexpected extra costs, once the projects underway. (I don’t know about you, but it drives me nuts when that happens to me.) Operating like that just creates headaches you don’t want and I don’t need.
So, on an RPD job, you can expect to receive ALL the numbers related to your project from the start. In fact, our customers often comment on how much more specific we are on our bids vs. others. If nothing changes, you can expect the quote you receive at the beginning to be exactly what you’ll pay at the end.
Everyone has their own strategy for navigating what can be a complicated world, and my friends know I can bullsh*t with the best of ’em. But, when it comes to business…for me, it always works best to just lay my cards on the table and go from there. If that works for you, we’ll probably get along just fine.
