Yes sir, all new flooring.
Could easily have worked around that. With large 8x10 movers I can slide a table around by myself.

Like they say you don't pay a man for his hours of work. You pay for his years of experience.
$650 for literally 30 minutes of work? Works out to $1,300 and hour to power tool the 4 legs off store them into the bottom of the table and tip the table onto a dolly and wheel it 11 feet. Glen, maybe if you could explain why the F this costs so much. Do you really need certified Diamond guys to move a Diamond? I'm not in the mood for coy questions, is it absolutely necessary or not?
Im sorry what in the hell are you talking about
A customer doesn't pay anyone for what they did last week, month, year etc...
Example:
You need a plumber. You call and ask how munch they charge, knowing that most plumbing companies charge $90 an hour for two men in your area. Well, they say that it will cost you $200 an hour just because the plumber thats available has more experience.
Lol....I know what most would say to em.....what would you say?

Paid $370 for a plumber to come out and snake my main sewer line. I was like wheat?
Pipe clogged again about a week later. I went and rented a power snake for $50. Job done. It was some work for sure.
Btw, be careful using Charmin aloe tp, something about that stuff, it grabs pipes. That was the culprit.
So you didn’t have a nearby room in your house on the same floor you could have stored your table at, as opposed to outside? It takes a very unique cart to safely move a 1-piece slate oversized 8-foot Diamond table, without damaging it, and they are likely the only ones that could have done this for you, so it’s not likely you were in a position to negeotiate price with them. Regarding the price quote, you’ve got to consider the 2 separate trips and how far they had to travelI could have left out the sarcasm. I paid the $650. Its a Diamond Pro-Am 8'. They moved it from my living room to just outside my sliding glass door (a few steps). Its under an aluminum roof, but not an enclosed space and it rained the next day. Its been out there 5 or 6 days. (Its back in now.)

What he means here is:
Say you want an electrical outlet installed in your garage. You get quoted 100$ plus materials... They guy comes in and does it in 30 mins and is cleaned up and gone.
Some other guy quotes the same price, it takes him 2 hours plus to complete the job because he doesn't have the experience and knowledge to do the job in 30 minutes.
Same job, same price... $/hr changes though.:thumbup:
To the OP, hope you get to enjoy your table! Congratulations!
Very true, I'm a plumber and do a few side jobs here and there and when providing a price it's noted that experience is included in the price. I help out contractor friends of mine who are handy and will do a lot of plumbing on their own and they are amazed how quickly I can get things done. It comes down like in most professions the experienced ones are thinking what they will be doing 15 minutes down the line where the less experienced will be thinking of what they are doing right now and likely questioning themselves as they are doing it.
Never thought I'd see anything plumbing related here
Cheers,
