Heres the Difference-
With most all contracting services you meet with some sort of salesmen, a person who is only there to sell you a product- in which they most likely know very little about, and certainly have no idea how to go about completeing the project themselves- this is left to a installer who simply follows a set of instructions provided by the salesmen- but the actual way the project goes together and the fine details are up to the installer- since he is the actual person with the skills and vision to complete the project. When you purchase a product from a large contracting company you are paying many people who have nothing to do with your project- that salesmen is only worried about selling you the most expensive product they can, because they get a percentage of what you buy, then there is the actual contractor, who you may never even see. There may even be a seperate owner that is only worried about quotas and percentages- pushing products out the door like wall-mart. You are paying alot of extra money out to people for no reason- and getting a subpar product at best.
After all- the person with all the experience and knowledge is the person who actually does the work- So why not just hire this person directly- get the salesman, contractor and installer all in one- save a bunch of money and get a high quality product from a knowladgeable person that will last a life time. With that being said- Go ahead and give that salesman a shot, then call us and see the difference.
