I Guess Its Time To Raise My Prices...


Here check out this link... I gues I need to double maybe even triple my price. All decked out $250,000 for a deck with a built in kitchen, spa, roof, and heat. My best customer wants most of this. Now I know how much I can charge for it.

$250K Someone's gettin' rich somewhere.

Their website doesn't show a portfolio of projects, a lot of info, but no pics. I guess the one good thing (for them) is that if someone sees their website and then still calls them, it's probably a good lead--certainly would weed out the tire-kickers and cheapos.

They also state that 99% of their tear-offs have some structural damage--anyone else seeing ratios that high?

Here's to raising prices

I did see the 20 year guarantee, I missed the "we'll remove it...you owe us nothing" clause. That might be a little rich for my blood.
