I get this too. However, you’ll usually be able to tell the professionals your end goal during the quoting process and if your requirements are reasonable, they’ll work with you.
If they won’t do that, then you get to ask yourself the next question:
- Do they have a good reason to refuse? (safety [either theirs or yours], regulations, etc)
If not, then you can just refuse the quote and work with someone else.
More often than not, the professionals know what they’re doing and will be able to work around your requirements, and if they can’t, they’ll have competitors that can.
