So how is it that when someone comes to our house to give us an estimate....UPDATE

He tells us its gonna cost $6400 for the coping and pavers around our pool...so my DH and I where all excited because it was the cheapest quote so we where looking to start asap....we asked the guy for something in writting and he said that he was going to go back to the office and type it up...THEN yesterday the written estimate comes in the mail and it now says $8400.....

I am so upset because we just dont have that extra money right now and we really wanted it done!

My DH is putting a call into to the company today.

UPDATE::
So my husband called the company and the guy said that he forgot to add something and thats why it has changed....so now we are gonna maybe get another estimate or two.

Def call him and tell him he is going to loose the job over it if he does not stand by his original quote.
