You guys probably think your customers can't detect the disdain
you have for them. You're wrong.
I needed a hvac unit for a 1,000 sf addition. We recently did a smaller
one
at a smaller redo for $6 per sf. I got a bid of $6100. Thought that was
high. So, I go another and it was $7500. Went to a friend who
recommended
a friend who owns a local hvac place. They're going to do it to the $7500
bid specs, using the same model unit, and for $4100.
The friend likely has no liability insurance, parts stock, warranty service,
etc, etc...
Make sure you put that extra money aside, you'll be using it and more to fix
the ****-ups in a couple years. If it lasts that long.
