I think offering prices over the phone is birlliant.
1) Home owners are afraid because they don't know what the final bill will be. They call 3 contractors and two (who may be less expensive) say I don't give prices over the phone; and one gives a price they don't have to worry about (even if it's high). The guy who gave the price gets the job.
2) You don't have to go out and write up a proposal for 3 people who won't buy for every one that will.
3) The price shoppers and tire kickers who were just curious what it will cost and were planning on doing it themselves anyway didn't take up half your afternoon for free.
