Evan, let me ask you something real quick since anytime someone on here mentions concrete work you gotta point out that you got a way lower price then I gave you. I dunno why you wanna make that point that I somehow ripped you off or something. I gave you price on what you explained to me what you wanted done. I thought it was a fair price from my point. I price everything I bid on from past experiences. Now I will agree that you got a good deal on what was done at your house but how am I to know that he did everything that you mentioned to me that you wanted done. I told you when I was there that I price match. I know I told you cause I tell everyone that. Ever since the economy has took a turn down the construction market has been effected big time. Now every Tom, Dick, and Harry that does construction are doin stuff for stupid cheap prices. Since then I have told every one person that I give a bid on that I do not care nor will I be hurt if they got other bids and if they feel that mine is to high then I will price match the one that they feel is fair if they want me to do the work. If I feel like I cant do the job for that price I tell them to go ahead and let the other person do it. I am not here to rip anyone off, I want to be as fair as I can be and be as most helpful as I can. I get pm's all the time from people here asking me what they should do in different situations and I give them all the knowledge I know of about it.
Now back to the question I have for you, I dunno what you do for a living nor do I really care, but I can almost guarantee that there is someone out there that is more then willing to do it for alot less then what you get paid. Now does that mean I should go on here and try to talk bad about you? Nope. If walmart has cheaper groceries then krogers even on the same products, should I bad mouth krogers? Nope. I dunno why you are so butt hurt over a FREE estimate that I gave you. I didnt do one ounce of work for you yet for some reason every post about concrete you gotta talk bad about me. Hell I think in one of the threads awhile back you actually mentioned my name. I'm sure I could of went down to Home Depot, picked 4 guys looking for work and paid them 100$ a piece and could of did your patio for way less then the guy did it for. Then would that give me any room to bad mouth them?
Now as far as giving Rob a deal, its my company and I will give whoever I feel like 10% off the cheapest bid. Its not that I dont have the best prices out there, it because there is no best price in times like these. There are huge companies that buy work just to keep their employees busy. How do I know? Cause I bid against big companies like Kokosing and a few other ones. I know what their bids are on stuff cause we get to see them. They are literally making 0 dollars for the company. They make enough to pay the workers and thats it. So this is why I tell everyone to get a few bids out there from a reputable companies and if they beat mine then I have no problem price matching theirs. Rob just got lucky and I felt the need to offer him 10% off the best price. Call it a CR discount if you want.
Also if anyone wants to see some of my work, then look my company up on Facebook. Its in my sig. I am not a cpu person and still working on an actual website so as soon I get it figured out which I am having someone come over this weekend and finish it up for me and make its right, I will contact Anthony and become a vendor. Then you can see everything I do.
