Why do some handyman estimates get rejected even when priced fairly?

Direct answer: Estimates get rejected when they feel arbitrary instead of structured.

Practical steps

  • Lack of breakdown: No explanation of cost drivers.
  • No options: One rigid price.
  • Unclear value: Outcome not explained.

Next step: Add structure and options to your next estimate.
