hang in there a worthy job will come up soon enough where you can get your price that your
worth.
I appreciate the words of comfort here! It is a slow time. I have done numerous estimates as well as called leads and nothing is coming up. It is neat though to know that this is temporary and all will be smoothed out soon enough.
Yes, though, my first mistake was caving in on the price! I have had one other customer do that-a large basement remodeling company-and they have been one of the biggest pains in the you know what. From call backs (because they can't tell the customer that the color they chose in the first place was the one we put on the walls and they didn't like it) to requesting that we do work practically for free. And, get this, one of the basements we refinished was probably the size of 20x15 room with a few doors installed and acoustic tile ceiling with pre formed walls at the grand total price of 21,000.00 dollars!!!
Oh, and they said we were expensive for charging 80 cents a square foot for 3 coats of a burgundy red on a stairwell section. I think from now on I am just going to not haggle with people and say the price is what it is and you get what you pay for!
That is why this industry is cool in some ways; you are always learning!
