beastman I can tell you it is great to get multiple quotes.

For example on our three mini-log cabins
for the glass work we got three quotes.

Quote #1 = $80K
Quote #2 = $73K
Quote #3 = $19K

We went with the $19K and it turned out great.
We later found out the higher priced local glass companies
were "talking" with each other about how to quote the job.
They really wanted to know "who" it was that quoted $19K.
We did not reveal who it was until all the glass was in.

This summer we got lawn sprinkler quotes:

Quote #1 = $40K
Quote #2 = $11.2K

I am not one to always go with the lowest quote,
but when there is such a huge gap, we try to investigate
and make sure the low quote is a good company.

Lots of vendors see "weekend properties"
as places they can jack the price up.
