My guess is, most or all of his clients are million + houses or contract work and he's laser focused his business in that direction. Like someone said, It's also a balance of hiring or not. If you're not looking to grow into a market and would prefer to just do contract work or lots of repeat customers. You will be turning down a lot of work. It's not insulting, It's just business. At least he was honest enough. Many contractors will simply give an estimate 3X's what it should be and see if you bite, Then it's to good to walk away from. But OP did ask for other recommendations, There was a point beyond bashing. Quick edit, Many of the window washing co's in Bedford or Windham area have minimum sq' quotes.
