Here in Pittsburgh new investments by Google, Apple, Facebook and Autodesk is a true testament to the growing infrastructure here.

Either way, just like only foolish people assume they must be getting a great deal when a consumer good is marked "50% off", I recommend getting a quote for the energy improvements independent of the program first so that you can compare apples to apples.Happy investing,Troy

But the other issue is, in that quick conversation, the two offers were treated like apples when really ones an apple and the other an orange.Your CASH offer is guaranteed and will happen in less than 30 days.  

I'd like to use a general form that I can present to all contractors during the biding process that way when all bids are in I can compare apples to apples and find out who is actually giving me a deal.

There are some deals in Los Angeles, San Diego, and, occasionally, Orange County, but the best "bang for the buck" is the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) and up in the high desert areas of Victorville and Apple Valley.Hope this helps.

Have already gone through some bad apples and so looking for a strong recommendation who is reliable and honest.

@Sandra Jorgensen @Neil Narayan - likely because Cedar Park is pretty much land locked, Round Rock is somewhat "central", good schools, good proximity to major employers, Leander is close to the new Apple campus, and with land availability somewhat cheaper?

Let's not compare apples to oranges, and expect equality.
