Break down how I should explain: 1) What's included in the price (labor, materials, permits, cleanup), 2) Why this job costs what it does (complexity, time, specialized skills), 3) Calm, confident responses to common objections like 'that seems high' or 'I got a cheaper quote', and 4) How to position value without sounding defensive.
