This thread is great and don't listen to the detractors. Yes everyone should get several quotes but having a ball park figure to work from is great. Everyone comes from different areas and may not know specifics to the Villages area.
Case in point I recently sold my house up north. When preparing for sale I decided a powerwash was in order. Three quotes came in at $450, $450, $475. I decided I was better off buying a power washer (my old one had broken so I was going to get it done until I heard the price!) for $200 and did it myself. Now I am moving to the Villages and I would fully expect to pay around $400 to powerwash a 2000 sq ft designer and based on my past experience instead of calling a contractor I would shuffle off to Lowes and buy another power washer, but based on your information provided that would be foolish if I could have it done for me at under 50 bucks!
So again thanks for the thread and lets keep it going to help others. To the others who say it is without merit I say Bah humbug keep posting folks!
