Decent help for brightwork in Annapolis?

[Volkhard]

I am new in town and need some brightwork done . I found someone decent (so I thought) and agreed with him on scope of work, time frame and price (beginning of April). Four times he promissed to start "next week" and never came through. I contacted some other but they seem equally unreliable even with giving their proposal.
What is it what I don't get here? Only the companies who are charging $3000+ for taking the toerail down to barewood, re-applying varnish and sanding and recoating the rest of the exterior teak of my IP37, sending quotes but also telling me they are used to bigger jobs and might get it done when ever they might get to it.Am I so out of touch with reality to think that is extreemly high? If my job wouldn't require so much unpaid overtime right now, I would take a heatgun,scraper and sandpaper to start myself. One more year of "hard labor" and I go cruising and have the time to do it myself.

I believe that there is an Island Packet Dealership in Rock Hall. You may want to contact them and see if they have any suggestions.

I shall turn this around on you and ask how many hours you think it willor should take to complete this work to your satisfaction? Allowing for overhead expences, the fact that the self employed must provide for their own health insurance, and retirement investments, material cost and liability insurance what do you think is a fair hourly rate for a man to do this work? Is the boat in the water or on the hard? If it is in the water and he is scraping old varnish how will it be controlled so as not to polute the harbor? You own a half million dollar boat how much would you be willing to pay for the care of a Rolls-Royce?
