Anyone have any advice on dealing with them. I know it's the busy part of the year for some of them, but wow I'm frustrated with one of my projects right now. I want to put hardwood floors in my home (all carpeted), fence the yard, and get a real nice wraparound deck in my back yard. I found the fence was the easiest thing to negotiate. The floors were pretty easy to negotiate as well. As far as the deck, I feel like I'm really having a hard time with estimates all over the place. Problem is, the contractors I like the best on this are also the highest. BTW, I'm looking at this from both sides as well - I know they have to make a profit and I want to have a good job done as well. Any advice appreciated.
