Re: Newby

Perfect first post. Got a feeling you will do well here.

Now watch, He will post the infamous "how much" post and once again my first impression will be wrong!

Re: Newby

To answer the how much question. I've learned it's dangerous to price anything unseen. We do not have any set sq ft prices, too many variables. I do know I usually come in at a lower price due to this way of quoting.

Good move Brian. Don't mind those guys.
They just can't believe a new member would post such a good intro and not mess it up with a "How much for" question. Pricing is sort of a touchy thing to ask about. Welcome to CT.
