I called this company to have a 50 foot piece of water line run from the back of my house to the main. I had already dig the trench so that it was a one hour job at the most. When I called the company they told me that there would be a $45 charge for coming out and giving an estimate but if they did the job that would be included. At 2pm this guy shows up at my front door for the estimate and asks for the $45. He goes in my backyard for maybe a minute and comes out and tells me it will be $5600. Obviously he didn't want the job. I called another contractor who completed the work in 40 minutes for $250.
