Why Low Quotes Often Cost More in the End
The most common pattern: a contractor quotes $1,900 installed, discovers the gas line mid-job, and adds $900 to the invoice — no permit pulled. We measure the gas line at the assessment before quoting. The upgrade cost is in the written quote from the start. “No surprises on the bill” is the most consistent phrase in our customer reviews.
