Estimates: Job description with total price (labour+material) vs Itemized with individual prices broken out.
Had a couple customers say no thank you based on price this week and ChatGPT seems to think I’m loosing them in the estimates. Generally I do my estimates with a detailed description of work to be completed, materials with a list and labour cost for the job. But when it’s a bunch of smaller jobs added up the total seems over whelming (I think) ChatGPT suggests breaking out the price of each part to give customer a bit more flexibility especially on jobs which have a bunch of things. What’s the thoughts from this group? I have attached the two estimates in question for context. 1 was demoing and redoing some new front steps and replacing a piece of bead board that was attached to the outside for some reason. 2 was a bunch of different hand rails and grab bars, some on the front steps into concrete. Some on a bathroom for a customers elderly mother. Stuff which is simple but relatively high risk/high risk of call backs. But I strongly think both didn’t pan out because the overall price seemed high

Thanks that’s helpful
Finally started asking for google reviews
Based on one of the classroom docs. Already up to 4 reviews so hopefully over the next few months they keep growing
