Had something similar with Arocon. Asked them to repair a few small things, and add a downspout. They said they only do a $300 tune up service, at which time they’d have a look at everything and give me a quote.

They came out. Did the service. Lead guy told me that they would advise a quote for a new roof. I said, “I just want these other things but if want to write up a quote for a new roof feel free but I absolutely can’t afford it.”

Emails back with a quote for a new roof and the other work. I emailed back, “again, no thank you on the roof. Just the other work, please.”

Guy says “okay but that quote was discounted because I thought we’d be putting a new roof on. Here’s the quote for just that other work.”

Of course it’s 7 times what the original cost was. I get that you’re running a business, but that’s crazy. Alternately, if it’s just not worth it to do the work just tell me that.
