| Quote was only valid for a week and then job was dropped, while I was still awaiting other quotes. I noted this on the website and it was extended, but only by another week. Insufficient time, in my opinion; the quote I eventually accepted was valid for 40 days, giving me plenty of time to compare the other companies I had heard from (including one not on BC site). Was also the most expensive quote. | |||||
