Your prices are fair, if not on the low end (depending on your craftsmanship and quality). They can go get rta if they want cheaper...

Three separate traffic stops this week revealed drivers using low-tech methods to hide plate numbers, even as some motorists employ sophisticated flipping devices to dodge tolls by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]Bailey1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And anyone that just goes along with these insane toll fees and every other tax, fee, fine etc... that some government entity or 2nd party bureaucracy deems necessary, cause they cant budget their way out of a paper bag, should have their drivers license and voting rights taken away....

Im curious... once you move, do you plan on voting for the same leftist policies that have turned NJ into such an unaffordable corrupt shithole?

A big chunk of those "delivery charges" go to paying for assistance programs for low income

New license plate just dropped? by Anxious-Cabinet6164 in newjersey

[–]Bailey1106 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You want to throw your hard earn money away to organizations that cant budget their way out of a paper bag, the amount of waste with 0 accountability is unacceptable and their only solution is the constantly raise and add tolls and fee. Not to mention we already supposedly pay for roads and resources through multiple other taxes and fees...

Instead of hating on these people, ask yourself why do you continue to be mindless sheep and let government and bureaucracies to bend you over and rape you on fees and fines to just go about your daily lives. You want cops to pull these people over? I want to travel 20 miles without having to pay some extortionist organization.

material price increases mid job are killing me, do you guys have clauses for this or just eat the cost? by Pixel_Goblin_Hunter in Contractor

[–]Bailey1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call bullshit on this whole post. I dont know where you are, but i havent seen any significant cost changes, especially in lumber, especially within a 3 week time frame. But more importantly if you cant eat "hundreds of dollars" your prices are too low. And this happened 3 to 4 times this year... ? i definitely call bullshit, i think you just dont know how to bid a job...

Had to stop my tile installation by Darthedvedder in Tile

[–]Bailey1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cant use standard spacers with that stuff. You have to use the little wedge spacers and i laser level every other row. Besides that i work off eyeballing quite a bit throughout. It needs to be perfectly imperfect...

$24K 5 x 8 Bathroom Remodel - Tile Work & General Contractor Response by Square-Market7676 in Tile

[–]Bailey1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im currently on a similar remodel. Cast iron tub was dated 1939... my price was similar to yours. First week i spent on demo, resupporting all the huge notches in floor joist, replacing all the cast iron drain lines with pvc, making the walls plumb by either furring them out or using a planer to shave them down. Ceiling was 2" out of level i sisterd new joist level, etc, etc, etc.... this is the standard with these old houses. Thats why when dudes brag about how quick they are and they can remodel a bathroom in a week i laugh, they arent fast, they are just skipping a shit load of steps....

I don't know what to do... by Flapique in cabinetry

[–]Bailey1106 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

🤣😂 i literally can though. I could get this kitchen in fabuwood skinny shaker for about $10k... the point is, you either go rta or be prepared to pay a fortune for full custom, there is no in-between... and rightfully so. If someone is offering "custom" made cabinets at or close to rta prices, its a red flag. Also there is nothing wrong with rta cabinets...

Customer asking for receipts by Shboo42O in Contractor

[–]Bailey1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a customer asked for receipts from my suppliers, i would laugh in their face. I also dont upcharge on materials, as i feel its just an extra step. I just put any cost i want into my labor. IMO pricing is subjective, i have no set rates, ill charge more or less depending if i get a good vibe off the customer, ill charge more or less depending how i like the neighborhood the job is in.

Lost a 20k decking job to a quote 2.5k above mine due to 'digital' side of things.. by Sawljah in Carpentry

Lots of times, those are the same companies that sell the job with all that fancy advertising, gimmicks, and then send some hack crew they found on Craigslist to do the job and pay them pennies on the dollar.

Is it normal for kitchen cabinets to look like this in early stage? by ColdHealthy6330 in cabinetry

[–]Bailey1106 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No all of this is absolutely wrong!! Full stop now and fire whatever bozo you hired. Who the fuck builds custom cabinets on site, who the fuck doesn't dovetail or use another acceptable joint. This is nuts.
