Re: How to Drum Up More Remodeling Business -- Should I Pay to Estimate?

I have increased my prices and work has increased as well. If you lower your prices or give anything away, your quality is lowered and so will your client base. I have made it a point to do quality work and keep a very high standard for my company. I have won several jobs with guys bidding 1/2 my asking price because the quality customers knows cutting prices cuts into quality always. Spend time hiring more skilled professional workers and you can usually get better work from one quality craftsman than 3 hammer heads. Customers will appreciate this as well. Times are tough so can the slacker no skilled saw bum and hire or train the rights guys. The up side of a slow economy is the skilled guys are plentiful now, use this time to prepare for the upswing (it's coming and sooner than you might think).
