Review Quote

• When comparing quotes, never make your choice
  based on the price alone. Be careful about very
  low rates because low bidders oftentimes do a lot
  of shortcuts on their work and use poor quality
  materials. Do not hesitate to ask the contractor
  about any items on the quote that you are not
  familiar with. You have the right to know what
  you will be paying for. Also, look at the project
  time frame. It is ideal to find someone who could
  finish the concrete work job quickly without
  sacrificing quality. As long as the time frame is
  reasonable, it makes sense for a contractor who
  could complete the job faster to charge more.
