"Service businesses" down here are most usually overpriced because they know most/many folks can't DIY or don't care how much they pay. I wish I was in the "don't care what I pay" group but I really enjoy DIY. Obviously some folks just can't DIY due to health reasons and sadly they are the ones who most often get taken advantage of.
Is no one in TV capable of saying, "That's too expensive, you've got to do better"?

I can't think of a single service we've had where we didn't negotiate the price down a bit. Painting, electrical work, etc...
