Thank you Cody! What a wealth of information! I agree that we must stick together in this industry so that we all can make a living rather than giving our hard work away. We are located in Ottawa and we are experiencing difficulties due to undercutting and that customers are not educated about what we actually do. We specialize in commercial kitchen exhaust systems. We do some exterior work as well. Many companies here do not clean to code and therefore price themselves cheap. Many clients don't understand this. They will say that they can get it for cheaper but they don't realize what they are getting for that price. I wish that the fire inspectors and insurance companies would get tougher with the restaurants. I think that would allow all of us to charge a fair price for the hard work we do.
