Estimates vs Quotes - Why The Difference Really Matters
At Upcycle Interiors, we’ve noticed a growing concern in the industry - and it’s one we take very seriously. More and more stories are emerging of customers being caught out by a misunderstanding between an estimate and a quote. It might sound like a small difference, but in reality, it can mean the difference between a stress-free project and a costly fallout.
Let’s break it down, the way we see it - with no fluff and no grey areas.
March 2025 - Pipe Cladding in Portland
Our customer contacted us through our website form after finding us on Nextdoor.
They had some cladding in their kitchen which desperately needed repairing following a leaky pipe above, which had been fixed prior to our arrival.
We removed all of the existing rotten wood and replaced it with new cladding. The customer wanted to paint the new cladding themselves once it was installed.
Just Stop Oil
Now hear me out... I know they're controversial and I know they wind a lot of people up but one thing they did do is get people talking.
Oil - it's bad. Most people would agree drilling for oil and removing fossil fuels from the ground is a bad thing for the environment, now this goes deeper (excuse the pun), if we are to save the environment we should live in a sustainable way - which includes photovoltaic panels, solar panels, wind farms, generating electricity from tides, all of these are sustainable.
