Or like when I've had that happen to me before(customer pay more than the bid), you literally shot yourself in the foot so badly that no just person could possibly ignore the fact that the job was underbid. Oh man I hate working for free, but what I hate even more is when I'm paying to work on...

Let's not confuse 'contract' with a written quote that both parties sign. Why try to make it seem more complicated than it is? Because it's not. Its fine and dandy to run on a handshake with no paper trail. Just don't be surprised when you get burned or screwed around by someone. Because it...

I would bring it up in that I'd ask the customer if they were happy keeping the $200 off or if they had any desire to still have the paver fixed? I'd then adjust my pricing accordingly. :D. Not mentioning it at all would be kind of like ignoring the elephant in the room IMO.

That sucks Reg. I had very few of those instances in these parts. But when in business it's bound to happen sooner or later no matter where you are I think. A written/signed(by the custy) estimate can go along ways in avoiding things like that IMO. I sent nearly all estimates by e-mail, so I...
