Somewhere out there I was advised to get three quotes... And after years of trying to wing it with one... I've now put the 3 P's into practice over the 3 quotes. You will match on price, personality and also professionalism on 1 out of 3 quotes you get. Price - well that's what most of us compare and accept. but beware the tradie who's personality is not a match for the job or for you. Then beware the tradie who's professionalism isn't a match for the seriousness of your job. That needs to match also. Bonus points go to the 4th p. Promptness. I give a bonus star to the tradie who arrives on time to quote. :-)
