You Don't Give Your Contractor
Enough Time To Complete Your Job Properly!
Mistakes happen when you rush!
When you're in a hurry, you may forget to tell your
contractor certain instructions. Or you might make a mistake in judgment
or purchase decision because you were concentrating on getting it done,
instead of getting it done right.
Schedule. Schedule.
Schedule.
Before you work on your contracting project, talk with
your contractor. Get your contractor involved from the beginning because
there might be a more efficient way to finish your project on time that
you don't know about.
You can save time, money and headaches from the very
beginning by communicating with your contractor!
Why do most people do the opposite of this and wait
until the last minute to talk to the contractor? Because everyone takes
the contractor for granted. Everyone thinks the contractor can easily take
care of his or her work. Most everyone thinks the contractor is sitting
around waiting for his or her job to come through the door. This isn't the
case.
You should think of your contractor as your
"project partner". Consult with your contractor. Let them know
in advance what you want installed, or fixed. Ask them if there are any
tips they can give you to make your job go smoother.
You are not the only customer your contractor has. When
they walk in the door and you're saying you need it now, a contractor
can't always help you. YOU need to work together.
