After receiving the second quote with the increased labor hours (they were at 80 hours and estimated another 40), I reemphasized to not exceed a total of 120 hours without permission. Friday’s update had us at 148 hours. I sent them a letter telling them to stop all work until we discuss the issue. Any thoughts on what we can do different? So far the workmanship looks good, and conversations have been professional, but it’s frustrating that the estimate continues to be off even after working on it for 4 weeks.

Can you give us a rundown of the surprises they encountered???
