Residential trade quotes are even less standardized than commercial bids — one plumber prices fixtures separately, another bundles them in, and a third doesn't mention them at all. On a remodel where the client is watching every number, an apples-to-oranges comparison is a fast way to lose their trust.
“I wouldn't even know where to begin to find subcontractors that I could trust. None of my subcontractors I work with in the high tier commercial world do residential.”
“I always hear horror stories about terrible subcontractors not signing contracts, never showing up, terrible quality, wanting to work cost plus or T&M, no SOV's, etc.”
