Charge for estimates or Free ?

[xkwg74x]

Im just thinking what's the pros and cons on charging for estimates and giving out free ones ? Which would you prefer and why ?

@ralphann @perrysto @MicMell do you have any advice to give to @xkwg74x about charging for estimates?

It's a catch 22, most people want FREE Estimates. But then that can be a big waste of your time for people who are going to get ten estimates and just pick the lowest one. We give free estimates and it mostly has worked for us but definitely time consuming.
