Hey Ross-

I am trying to negotiate a better price for my contractor (Walter Beebe-center, Essex Renovation) for installing TimberTek XLM with their Conceal hidden fastening system.... he wants to upcharge me $900 to use the Timbertek XLM vs Azek with Cortex (plug fastening from top) He says the upcharge is $500 for increased matl cost and $400 for additional labor to install using the hidden fastening system. Is this fair or does the Timbertek system go down as fast as the Cortex plug fastening?

Thanks for your input.. walter's crew has not used the Timbertek before so he is cautious in pricing with it.
