The prices some contractors charge for things is crazy. A few winters ago we had a real heave snow and the carport on my house collapsed. The next day I had a guy drive by and stop to bid on the job to clean it up. He actually tells me to my face that we can work out a deal to charge the insurance company more than needed and we can split the difference. He bid $750 to clean it up and another guy bit $550 to clean it up. It took my brother and I about 2 hours to have the whole things tore down and stacked then took it all to the dump the next day.
When it came time to rebuild it I got quotes that ran from $4,000 up to $9,000. It was crazy.
