Call out another contractor. A lot of them will give free estimates. Get a free estimate. Aemon Send a noteboard - 19/11/2010 04:28:08 PM
If what you're paying is a long way below the estimate, consider giving your guy more money. If your offer is at least in the same ballpark as the estimate, though, then you shouldn't feel bad. Being fair is important, but it's ok to get a good deal, too.
