If you DO NOT HAVE MONEY.. DO NOT CALL SOMEONE TOO LOOK AT YOUR BROKEN HOUSE.
If one Contractor tells you Ten grand for a job and an up an comer who is trying to make name for himself with professional quality work tells you Five.. Your an asshole for going with the ten grand contractor who fucks up your house.

The only way to pre qualify potential clients is to say "hey, do you or do you not have money to do the job?"
Would you go to a store to buy something put it on the counter then say i have no money or i only have half of that? No you wouldnt.

Heres a great example.. I get a call yesterday from a lady that needs Stair Rails sanded repaired painted and stained. She tells me the last guy quoted her at Six grand. I go look at it and quote her at only Fifteen hundred.. She says oh i dont have that... WTF!?
If your best offer was six grand you should have at best been prepared for me to not go less than half of your best offer. And i did!
I walked away with a well you have my card. She called three hours later asking me to please come. Oh so now you have the money.
