Skyline Estimating sends emails with the following offer:
"Skyline Estimating Inc provide cost estimation,quantity take-off and Rendering with 98% accuracy. We have 14 years of estimation experience. Please let us know if you need any sort of estimation services regarding your projects. It is for your information that we are providing 40% Discount on the first estimate and 45% Discount on estimation services onward with no compromise on quality of work."
When I spoke to them on the phone they said the offer was expired. It doesn't mention an expiration, I had jut gotten one within a week or so, and have received more of the same offer since.
They offered to lower the price some. I declined. They called me back to honor thier offer, so I finally accepted.
The estimate came on-time and as promised... in terms of the layout.
That was about the only thing that was as-promised. The info it contained was essentially useless. A couple of my emails to them are included below with specifics.
Summary:
These guys will not save you any time estimating. They do promise a discount they will only make good on if you fight them. Their estimates are grossly inaccurate. They will not refund your money despite failure to deliver as promised.
"Thanks for the reply, Steve.
