This is the type of stuff going on here in the Northeast....Obviously, we sell Quality Work,...But damn, when people are price shopping and find guys like this out there,......It's a scarey thing indeed.

We work less, I guess.

When my insurance rates, WC rates, fuel, maintenance costs, equipment costs, rent, taxes...go get cut, then I will cut my rates.

I actually told that to a potential client the other day, and I got the job.
