Just so you are aware.... And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, any time a potential client tells me "Should be a simple job", I raise my price...

But I dont do Nevo...

LOL, I agree.
I don't think I have ever had a job that wasn't a nightmare, when someone said "It should be simple", "It should be quick", or my favorite "It's so easy I would do it myself but I'm to busy right now".

Example =
Customer: I just need you to change the color of this wall plate. Should be simple.
Me (3 days later): Well... when we pulled the wall plate off, the keypad came with it. The wood had rotted from a bathroom leak upstairs. I guess you didn't notice the keypad didn't work because it was shorted out. Had to replace the keypad but you don't have the program from the original installer, so we had to program the whole system from scratch, after all the repairs to the framing and sheetrock.
Conclusion, we replaced the wall plate and that will be $1,800 :)
