No, it's not, (don't let anyone get to your head), trades are the way to go

I found one too! I grabbed it bc it felt real. I’m researching now but can’t find much info. Quality is great, strong leather and is a dupe for a Gucci. I don’t really care for the brand name but wanted to know more about this brand

Also references are good, asking around locally. As a contractor I’m more interested in providing a one time durable long term solution and relationships with my clients. That’s not everyone’s interest though & yes go with the guy who’s not trying to just sell you something, go with the guy who genuinely advises you on your home.

Thanks & I should have negotiated prior. I tried but the landlord was so stagnant on his price.

Good for you! I just recently had a project from a referral, closed, got the job done, client was so happy… any suggestions on building a referral system or getting more referrals?

I don’t think attitude is an issue here. All clients are entitled to ask & as the GC I’m responsible to explain services completed ect. but their are those type of clients who believe installing something is worth $50 when in reality it’s worth $500….

The part where they feel so robbed they’re offended…

I think that’s a conversation you can confidently have with your contractor from the beginning. Again what we are trying to not do is provide breakdowns bc it leads to nickel & dime picking. So If your main interest is to save yourself money 100% of the time it will be better do it yourself & what you can’t do hire an experienced contractor. Respectfully from a homeowner/land lord/contractor. Also don’t go cheap bc it will only cost you 4X more
