What do you guys think about this?
Hiring a professional implies a high standard of work. Aesthetic beauty is a part of that, along with the bare minimum of straight lines. Following standard procedures for grouting, cutting would result in a feeling of "order" with the finished product. Maybe she phrased it poorly because women phrase it in such a manner. A lot of remodels are to sell a house, and the bathroom and kitchens are indeed intended to "wow" the prospective buyers who gets showed the property.She "wanted to be wowed". WTH does that even mean? Did your stuff get put in as contracted? If you don't like YOUR choices, that isn't my problem. If I did something incorrectly, I'll fix it.
This is very true. What I have learned from the news in general and frequently with complicated stories is they get a lot of info wrong and that completely changes your perspective of the story.Details matter, and that article didn't provide details, but if I did work and didn't get paid, I could see me doing the same thing.
removables are repossesable in texas.i believe we reposed all the doors in a house once. lol. you can just unscrew those though.
Friend/contractor and a decent guy. Crazy, right...anyway, special ordered a $3K window. Customer signed off on all of it. Window comes in and she has changed her mind. He tells her that he's out $3K and she says, "That's on you," and goes back in her house. The MF'er side of me would have beat her to death with a mop handle. The nice me would have sued and lien'ed her house. My friend took it as a loss. What the damn heck?
Solution: "Any custom parts are to be supplied by customer".
lol oh hell no. customers are stupid and will never get the right parts, then they will complain that the job is delayed while you order parts and refuse to pay for the correct stuff because they already bought the wrong stuff. or they tell you just to use it, dont like the hack job and refuse to pay. F that.
I ask for up front money for special order materials before the job starts. that way at least I have that part paid, and we also are happy to do this when hiring someone to do anything.
Pre pay, hard to do with a 50 yo company. My Bro doesn't either. Granted, we're podunk USA and there are repercussions for not paying.
Nah, that's my bro in law's territory. WVa. He's in the FBI and trying to work the hillbilly meth crimes.Do I hear banjos??
Hey I know you said it needed to be these exact things but I found these others on ebay for half the price! It's basically the same thing and any little differences you can deal with right? I mean this is why I hired and expert. Not to listen to them but so they can make any dumb idea of mine a realitylol oh hell no. customers are stupid and will never get the right parts, then they will complain that the job is delayed while you order parts and refuse to pay for the correct stuff because they already bought the wrong stuff. or they tell you just to use it, dont like the hack job and refuse to pay.
