I know someone who just got 3 quotes for a large hall stairs & landing that had wallpaper on it - quotes came in as follows:
1 - €2300 (paper stripped, no woodwork done, paint not included in price)
2 - €2600 (paint included, was told no need to strip wallpaper as it is vinyl and stuck on well, woodwork included and primer included for on top of wallpaper)
3 - €900 - (woodwork included, neither paint nor primer included)
she has gone with quote number 3
How can there be so a differance between 1,2 and 3? Does your friend not wonder how two quotes can be similar and the other miles cheaper?
I would be very suspect, after all you get what you paid for.
But I suppose cheapest is best for some people.
