One tip I would add when getting quotes.

First ask how long the job will take?

How many men?

So that comes to X number of hours, now if you take the quote and divide it by the number hours does that make sense?

Say in the post above they say it will take 2 men two full days to remove the old stain and a few hours to coat it it 3 times it may work out with material and overhead profit etc.

But if they say I can do it all in day myself.......Some Doctors don't make that much.

So gauge the quote by the time & materials as a guideline.
