^If you supply some or most of the materials yourself the job will cost you more to complete. A significant part of a contractors revenue is the mark-up we make off selling you products at retail cost, while we are pay 60-70% of retail. If we loose that revenue then we'll need to charge more for labour and you'll be paying more for the materials anyway. At least thats the way I and most of the people I work with bid jobs.
