Some advice for the homeowners asking about their quotes right now

If you have an estimate right now from a larger company, think one of your local PE companies, the vans are wrapped, or a salesman came to your home to make the offer, you have a really good opportunity right now. Those companies live on budgets, and the leadership groups live on bonuses. All of their years end on the 31st, and they need to complete your job before end of business on the 31st. This is when WILD discounts can be negotiated. I've been a salesman at the large companies and been on the leadership team. I have seen 50% off deals get approved when the company is close to budget. You can get just about ANYTHING if you're willing to ask for it and stand your ground right now.
