As I've mentioned previously, we're putting a new kitchen in our new house. This week we've had three quotes from three different contractors (all refered to us by people we know) to do some work in the kitchen both before and after the actual cabinet installation.

The highest quote was more than three times the lowest quote!! The middle quote was almost smack dab in the middle.

There are some differences. The two highest quotes were from general contractors who will hire sub-contractors to do the work. The lowest quote is from a two man team who will do all the work themselves (they are licensed and qualified and I've seen their work).

I don't understand how three different guys can have such different prices for the exact same job and materials. That's just crazy.
