Ken, thanks for the reply. I had 3 estimates yesterday, with 2 "takers" and 1 "I'll get back to you". I used the $.20/Sq. Ft. on all the jobs. One of the guys had no problem with the quote, and the other wasn't expeceting a $354 quote. After chopping me down, I settled at $300. I was almost insulted when I bottom lined him at $300 and he attempted to go lower.

Anyway,....as the new kid on the block, I figure it's better not to squable over a few bucks. I know when he sees the work, he'll be satisfied. In the end, he'll be happy, I'll be happy, and hopefully I generate more work/contacts. Again,.....the reason for my negotiating is because I'm the new kid on the block. I realize whence you build up your name, your reputation, and clientel, there's no need for you to have to haggle. Thanks again Ken!
