So many guys working out of their truck want to charge the same as established contractors but want terms like you're their employer which is bullshit.
Now if you're going to use some guy doing it all on his own who is just a small time handyman it's different rules IMO. You might need to purchase the materials for him which is fine, that's one of the reasons you're saving so much money. Use your due diligence and be smart about it.

One is an established contractor. I can source out materials and save some money from Mark up but even then it's still too much.
