TWO GRAND just to remove some hurricane shutters ??? TWO GRAND ???

Seriously,though, 89K for that amount of work is criminal. I hope whoever got the estimate found two or three others as well.

I suppose it depends whether a person simply wants to write a cheque and walk into a transformed condo or goes out and buys the materials and goods themselves and pay somebody to do the work. I know I could that job for 40% less than the estimate and still make a good profit.

There's one born every day.
Always get multiple estimates. With as many vendors as we have down here, I try to get five estimates.

High quality kitchens can be extremely expensive. I actually think that is where most people get ripped off.
