As a contractor, try to make a habit of explaining to your clients during the estimate, that this is only your best guess and informed them that only after you remove the damage, will you be able to come to a conclusion.

Evaluating home problems is not an exact science and only as you gain experience will your skill increase. I have found ebooks and blogs to be an invaluable resource for advancing my education in the construction business.
