they did a great job

I just called this place looking for an estimate to replace some tiles in my tiled ceiling. He told me there was a $250 minimum. I said okay -- does that mean you're saying the work would actually be less than that, but would be upcharged to $250 to make up the difference or it would cost more than $250 for the work in the first place. All he would answer that $250 was a minimum. I said I understand I would be charged $250 no matter what, but again, I'm asking if it's $250 worth of work on its own, or if it is really only $100 worth of work but we would be charged $250. All he would answer was $250. I asked if there was someone else I could speak to in order to answer my question, and he said no, I have a $250 minimum. I would NOT work with this guy based on his attitude. If you can't even give me a straight answer about your estimate of the amount of work something would require, I'm certainly not going to hire you. I would stay away. **Update in response to his comment below - I did not have trouble understanding there is a minimum. I was simply questioning whether in the vendor's supposedly experienced opinion, if the repair I needed sounded like it was a $250 repair. The problem is that there was only one answer and not a conversation. It was only a 2 minute conversation, because all I could get the person to say was, "$250 minimum." Can't go very far with that. Succinct, yes -- he wouldn't say anything else, but there was nothing "polite" about it. It was rude, plain and simple. I tried asking the question a million different ways, and received the same response over and over. I hired someone else for the very small job and paid $40. That person will now get my business for larger jobs as he doesn't have an arbitrary minimum and doesn't speak to potential customers so condescendingly.
