Client calls me two weeks ago about an estimate for a fall clean up. I go out and give the estimate. All of the leaves on this guys property still havent fallen mind you. I tell the guy that hes around 250-275 range. I tell him to call me when all of the leaves have fallen because i cant really give him a final written estimate with out being able to see the full extent of the project. Tonight i waste my time and money and stop out at the property to see about 2 more hours of work. I call the client when i get back to my office and tell him the situation in a professional manner. The final estimate is 350.00 being a 75 increase. He starts freaking out and keeps saying hes not going to aruge with me on the phone and the whole time i am explaining the situation to him and he keeps telling me he can do it hmself but then at the end asks me when i could be there to do the work and i tell him saturday weather permitting and then he says no i'll do it. maybe it matters to some of you guys maybe it doesnt but this guy lives in a house that is at least low seven figures.
