I was on the homeower's side of things the other day. I need my patio door and 2 large sidelights replaced leading to the back yard. I don't have a door guy in my back pocket so I have been getting quotes and ideas. One guy was literally 400% more than the rest. Just to put it in perspective, I have a decent house but nothing fancy and the guy wanted to sell me $1200 in handles and hinges on a french door! I don't have $1200 in hardware in my whole house! He was trying to hit a homerun when he should have been slapping a single off the green monster Wade Boggs style. I always tell people who I contract to do work that I'm a value guy. If I see value in it I will buy/upgrade. But who knows, maybe he thinks I'm the crazy one!

All I can say is wow. I can't believe someone would have the cajones to actually ask you to fill out a spreadsheet.
Sorry if I'm mistaken (its late and I'm tired) but based on your second post, your asking for around $35/sq ft? If that number is correct and you are landing jobs, god bless you.
