  • I know their proposal sounds very attractive, but I doubt they can really do a good job for the cost they show in their bid. On an earlier job they gained a reputation for using inferior materials and attempting to add charges for "unforeseen expenses."
  • We protest this increase. It takes the rent price far beyond that of similar apartments in the area. Many tenants will no doubt move out.
