What the street already hired

Tear-off in one day, dry-in same day. Ridge vent done right. Dumpster fees in the bid.

Broom finish, control joints where they belong. Bid was middle of three.

Builder said it was “within spec.” Pressure was 92 psi. Regulator solved the tub drip.

Original quote $8,900. Line-set and condensate pump added after demo. Ended at $11,200.

Same-day swap after the builder unit failed at year five. Fair price versus the big-box quote.

HOA required the same cap and stain as phase 1. They had the spec on file.

Two-day swap. Pulled permit. Quoted $9,400 elsewhere for the same 16 SEER.

Looked good when finished. Took five weeks for a ten-day job. Hard to get a call back.

Moved furniture, cut clean lines, left the house better than they found it.

Airflow in the bonus room was 18% low. They adjusted dampers and left a report.

They know the architectural committee packet. First submittal passed.

Simple run. Showed up, built it, gone. $42.70 a foot.

Found a disconnected return in the bonus room the builder missed. Fixed it under the visit.

Panel had a spare slot. Permit and inspection handled. Half the big-box price.

Original sub. Texture mismatch across the seam. Had to hire a different crew to float it.

Replaced a failing builder fence. Straight line, tight rails. Neighbors hired them the next week.

Soil was builder-grade clay. They amended it without a fight. Sprinkler clock is a cheap unit.

Quote was $5,400. Gate hardware and extra posts showed up as change orders. Two weeks late.

Washed, scraped, primed the south wall. Two-coat. Still looks new a year later.

Beat two other bids by $900 and finished in four days. Posts set in concrete, not gravel.

Builder system was a spaghetti of mismatched heads. Pressure is even now.
