What is your ballpark estimate?

It happens every time a contractor or remodeling professional make the their initial visit with a potential customer.    You may get a sketchy overview of what the customer is looking for, and if you are lucky you can take a few pictures and measurements.   The conversation always ends the same way.....   "What is your ballpark estimate?"    The customer is looking for both cost and time to do the project.   What ever you say here is what the customer will remember and use to compare with other estimates from other vendors.

Accurate estimates save you both time and money.
