[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they pad estimates. There is also a major difference between a small surprise and big one. No estimate covers the discovery of significant additional and foreseen problems. The world gets a lot more interesting when you begin to open walls or retrofit old systems, or discover just how much someone else did with no permit.[/quote] A good contractor will already include that in the estimate[/quote] Yeah but crappy builders notoriously include low ball budgets for things (sinks, faucets that kind of thing). If you put the crap in that the budget covers you'd be replacing it all again in a year. [/quote]
