The cost of what specifically? If it’s landscaping, I’d never offer what I paid because everyone does very different things. You tell someone you paid 2000 but you don’t give them every detail of what was done, then they want to use those same people and maybe they have more or less. The price wouldn’t be the same. If it’s something like painting your walls, then everyone would probably tell you what they paid because that’s a set price by size or wall or whatever.
