  I did  a patio door about 5 years ago. Her quote was $9000.00.  They said they would beat anyone's price by a hundred dollars. I wrote up the quote at around $4200 including the door and haul away.
  I told her to call them . They said I could never do the job at that price. They never returned her second call.
 It took me about three hours with clean up. It was an easy install.  Not all go that way.

   I did another job for a home sale. Door wouldn't slide. Forget her quote. Door was junk they said. 
  I replaced the rollers. T/M was $125.00. I pocketed $110.00 for an hour.

A patio door install is pretty straightforward and simple but a 2 man job if getting into 8’ system. Those 4’ doors get heavy.

blew away this Saturday morning with 3 other companies estimates on patio door between 6 and 7.5K is better than 10K, but still seems high.  bathroom tub surround got better as well from over 12K to 8K, other was 11K, still seems INSANE pricing.

All are big box chain companies so skipping them going to start calling local companies nearby that will not try to rip me off.  All 3 had sales pitch guys bragging up their companies blabbered for over 1 hour on how 'great' their company was.    3rd guy on bathtub surround was about ready to kick his keester out of my house he would NOT leave without sale.  He walked out of my garage whinning he will have to go home to his wife saying he did not make any money today.  

The first one though was by far the worse going from 12K down to tad over 7K kept knocking off pricing for the patio door.  How stupid can one be saying full msrp is 12K but giving 5K off discount, whatever.  Just give me price of basic size lifetime warranty all vinyl patio door quote should ONLY take 30 minutes tops.

All 4 seen are off my call back list.  there has to be some smaller local company willing to be honest and straight with us.

Is this a replacement of or a new installation…opening the wall, adding a header, installing the new doors, any sheet rock repair or installation/taping/spackling, any siding work and new trim work oitside including brake metal work and so on?
