BEWARE of price shifters! Sadly, I am writing about a business that not long ago I thought was a keeper. I am a loyal client. I like to work with people who treat me fairly and I pay more for integrity. As a RE professional, I use workmen regularly. The first time I hired Cal the job went well and as agreed. At that time, I mentioned I had a similar job at another location. He estimated the second job at the same price as the previous job. Time passed until I finally was able to proceed with the second job. From the onset, Cal quoted the job at a much higher price blaming overall cost increases. I understand that costs do go up and accepted his price. The job was scheduled. The night before starting the job we reviewed the work and he increased his costs again! This time rather than accepting his justification, I cancelled the job because he violated my trust not because of the last-minute price increase. The job had not changed from the first time he and I spoke. Money was no longer the issue. I no longer trust Cal and with sincere disappointment will not hire him again at any price.
Response from Big Sky Land Surveying
"The first time I worked with this Client business was on the slow side, in 2018. I had a dynamic special pricing deal available which would include extra measurements to objects of concern and help with any neighbor disputes. I completed Property Line Survey and all the extra measurements that she wanted, she was happy with the work. CURRENTLY, Business is in high demand, expenses have increased so I have pricing back to what it normally would be. I tried to explain this, but she would not listen, because of this we did not move forward on the 2nd Project. Clients tell me all the time that my prices run LOW compared to others."

Showed up on time, did his work well beyond what I had asked for. Talked with the neighbors about what he was doing. A fully professional job in a potentially awkard situation

Big Sky was absolutely amazing to work with. Within seconds of submitting the request Calvin got back to my husband and I with a detailed explanation of the work required and a firm estimate. A couple of days later, Big Sky came out, took an extremely thorough survey and submitted all the necessary paperwork to the city to record their findings. And, the price couldn't be beat to boot! We couldn't be more pleased.

Calvin is very knowledgable, professional, and extremely budget friendly. He helped me with a potentially unpleasant legal situation and went far beyond my expectations in providing me with pertinent information. He answered every question I had and was very patient answering, making sure I completely understood. Customer satisfaction is paramount to his business philosophy. He completed his work in a timely manner and filed all the necessary paperwork on time. I highly, highly recommend him. It was a pleasure to work with him, even in this most unpleasant situation. Thank you again, Calvin!!
