Badgered an old woman into paying
The original quote - from the office in Burnaby not Edmonton - was $1064.70.
I was told 2 men would arrive but 3 men showed up (on time) and the third man was an apprentice, causing more of a hinderance than being helpful - his constant questions took time away from the 2 professionals and the job went much slower than estimated.
When the work was completed (and it was completed carefully and with respect), the cost was more than double the estimate. The 3 men stood on the porch until they were given a cheque for the full amount, it is intimidating to an older woman and there was pressure to pay the amount.
The next day when the office in Burnaby was phoned they reiterated that they only deal with complaints of the work, not intimidation.
