A true professional shouldn't need to do a mock-up. If a customer wants a sample the contractor should be paid for their time, contractors decision whether to take it off price if contract is awarded to them.
Price range should not be given. (Would you do a 20 sq ft powder room for $4.00 sq ft)
If price range if give should be $1.00 to $10.00 sq ft
We are professionals and need to stop giving our services away for next to nothing.
Thank you

Hi Partners,
We need your thoughts and input regarding the attached article: Stone Restoration Can Save You Money… But It Can’t be Cheap
One of the challenges that you face as you conduct business in your marketplace is that of dealing with the competitor that constantly drives the price down and delivers shoddy, horrible work to the customer. The customer gets what they paid for. In many cases You get called in by the customer to fix the mess your competitor just made.
The purpose of this article is to educate the consumer about this.
We plan on posting this article to your website (Premium members), placing it in Stone Advisory Magazine (SAM) and making it available to you as a "white paper" so you can use in your sales and marketing efforts.
Before we publish we would like you to review the article and tell us where we can make changes or improvements. As professionals in the field you have experienced this and can give us input to effectively address this issue with consumers.
