[quote=Anonymous]Lol. You pay more because the contractors don’t live in your neighborhood and have to factor in commute time and incidentals (both ways). I used to live in a neighborhood filled with contractors. Hired guys that lived on my street, they gave great rates since no time is wasted commuting, they go home for lunch, if any issues can come back easily, no gas etc. The more expensive the neighborhood is the farther the vendors tend to live and they have to compensate. It’s a big markup. Think about a plumber with a 100k truck with over 100k in equipment in it, that van needs to be productive during all work hours.[/quote]
