lesson I've learned during this home buying / reno work
Definitely get multiple quotes and don't bite one the first one unless you know it's a good price. Examples:
- Windows $125k 😂
- Windows $81k one week later
- Windows $37k two weeks later
Foam insulation
- $12.5k on visit
- $8.1k one week later
- $5.6k two weeks later
Tree cutting
- $11k
-$7k when they heard I got another quote
For real. Don’t feel guilty saying no to quotes. So often I hear people saying yes just because they feel bad for the sales person taking their time to come out and do a bid.
Great point, they should earn your business , you're going to give them a lot of money
$125k for windows?
Usually windows should come out to around $1000 per window installed unless you get fancy with it.
Yeah, it was ridiculous, we walked the salesperson out
We had another quote for $15k so just a bad company but it shows the the impact of waiting nonetheless
That's cheap. We have 7 windows, it'd be 20k. We were like nah we'll live with old windows then.
Tree cutting is massively expensive, as you show. For someone living in N.C. and surrounded by trees it’s a very real issue…
You can replace your own windows. If a dummy like me can do it, you can def do it lol
