That’s not exactly true at least in my experience doing this. Our price never changed seasonally. Hell one or two of our slowest months were summer months. It all goes by what the company has as volume of work. A lot of people plan to do large scale renovations and re plants in fall. Winter time is typically a dead time but not at all ideal for planting.

I would 100% tell the OP if he was getting ripped off or not if he listed all what was quoted.

Yep, same for us, we don’t price based on how busy we are. The price is based on the cost of materials, which vary, and the amount of labor to do the job. I have heard of companies that give inflated quotes if they are “too busy” and take it if the customer accepts, but I couldn’t do that. We price things so that our company can hopefully make a little after all expenses are paid. What many people don’t realize when they get a quote is we have to pay for materials, labor, liability insurance, workers comp, truck note, truck insurance, equipment upkeep, fuel, taxes on labor, taxes on materials, etc. etc. etc. We are only trying to make a living, raise a family, and stay in business.
