How long does it take to get a bid from this company? Oh about a week. Initially they gave us a verbal quote on the phone and we asked for it in writing. The written bid was 10,000 less. When we emailed back Joe, his own quote he began to argue via email. After a week of emailing back and forth, we decided that this lack of communication probably would be indicative of the level of customer service that we would receive as a customer. Buyer beware.
