We were given a total estimate for the job, and used it for comparison with others, and they were competitive. (Plus the OP said they were satisfied with the work.) No estimate? Good work? Did he just call them and tell them to come out and do the job?
We need to know more details before we go about slamming Pikes or deciding not to use them. For all we know, they ALL factor in travel time in their costs.

The OP was very clear. Warren, you are right.
