$5,006 gutter guards and reseal inside of the gutters.
we said, we can hold off on this. there are more projects that take priority.
he offer $4800, no thanks not at this moment.
final offer was $3800, we get put on standby list so crew will come in asap if any1 reschedules.
I said no thank you, the storm gutters and leaders are new. not even a year old. to pay $4k for storm covers, pvc cover with smooth mesh, this allows water to go in, and prevents from anything sticking on it.
he wouldnt say how much was labor or cost per section that comes in 5ft.
I think in his mind he saw $$$ since both X3 were in driveway, he ask to come in to show product

Those companies and painters both use these smarmy tactics. My clients tell me all the time about how they start their pricing in the clouds and it gets lower and lower as time goes on. One person had a quote of 6,800 and it got down to 2,300 after a few weeks. Insane price drop and absolutely disgusting to try and screw people, not to mention a huge waste of everyone's time. With both of my companies the price is always the actual price. I never negotiate or offer discounts. Want a lower price, no problem, we can just remove things from the quote.
