For the same reason I do "little jobs" every day - people still need them done. Can you imagine me turning people away or charging a that's too small to do fee? Oh you just need a single surface filling which costs $250 but too bad I'm not interested unless you need a $1500 crown?Why should they do "little" jobs when they're plenty busy with bigger, more profitable ones ?
It might not be possible to simply add a 20-amp outlet. If there's 14-gauge UF Romex feeding that existing outlet, you can't run a 20A outlet off of that. What wiring feeds the garage ? Is the existing outlet 15A or 20A ?
Is the quote itemized ? Very curious what it includes if so.
It's not itemized and my wife was home when he came out so not sure what that quote includes but that too is on him.
