Hi Anthony, When a job is sent out to tradesmen, we advertise your stated budget. This is for the tradesman to gauge the size of your job and is not set in stone. The final quote for the work should be subject to a site visit for the tradesman to provide you with a professional opinion on the work. We also have a before you hire checklist which we hope will prove useful to you – it covers qualifications, reputation and the contract itself: http://www.ratedpeople.com/c/homeowner-checklist. Best Wishes, Anthony The Ask An Expert Team
