Ways to save in Kent
- Install backup power — most failures happen during storm outages.
- Replace preventively at year 8 instead of after a flood.
- Collect three written bids on an identical scope — spreads of 20–40% are normal.
- Book in the off-season and stay flexible on the start date to save 5–15%.
- Bundle nearby work into one mobilization so you only pay setup and travel once.
- Ask what the contractor would change to cut 10% without hurting durability.
