Newton Hunt's workmanship

[Keith Roberts]

I agree with this. Newton should have told the client to leave an email
address so responses could be private. Far more unbiased venue. The client
in revealing prices committed the sin of bid shopping. When I give a price I
tell the client what that entails and the expected results. The more little
headings I come up with the more impressive it looks, though many jobs
overlap and what appears to be a high or low price in one category is picked
up in a different category. Sure tech can beat your prices but it's not the
same job they're talking about. Apples and Oranges. Newton is smart. He
listed the price of the hammers and picked up the installation somewhere
else. If the client is going to shop, usually it's one thing, like the
hammer replacement price that gets compared.
Newton has the job, that's for sure. Everybody here wouldn't do it for that
price.
