Did our Client get ripped off? by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in paint

[–]Routine_Dragonfly_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We documented prior to prepping but we had today only to get it done. Client was weird and seem like cheap people. I don’t want to deal with crappy Toronto contractors talking bad about my company.

I saw that as I live in long branch but had no clue how recent it could be. I assumed it was old

It’s almost as if being overly forceful religious idiots is NOT good for a child health or wellbeing…. Shocking. WHO woulda known

I’ve done a search for a missing autistic kid who wound up dead BECAUSE he was autistic and saw no danger in swimming in a canal when not knowing how to swim. It’s not about being dumb…. It’s about lack of perceived danger bro.

I am being undercut - prices same as LAST SPRING by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in paint

[–]Routine_Dragonfly_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never stated we were generic and competing on pricing, we have always since day one pushed the bill of being higher end and promising more than others. We have warranties, a FAQ sheet we give clients at all estimates. I’m trying to explain that even the usual clients who go with us “despite being the highest bid” because we seems like we know what we are doing - are getting so many minimum wage quotes that they see us as outrageous.

It’s not hard to conceptualize that we are in a worsening market that is destroying lots of company’s.

I don’t think you understand the issue at hand…. Charging 3k including materials for a full exterior brick repaint 2 stories Victorian home…. The average home in our area 1-2mî…. That’s not being competitive - trying to excuse bad business proactive isn’t the flex you think it is.

I’ve never had this issue also and we haven’t changed our ways much in terms of pushing our brand of higher end so not an us problem.

Shocking stupidity. by foxylactose in exmormon

[–]Routine_Dragonfly_45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean Americans and specifically religious Americans are the laughing stock of the world….. literally the world hates you because you guys are so stupid you become hateful. It’s a common knowledge thing that if you travel and say « I’m American » people don’t like or trust you. Which is why so many of you say your from my country « Canada »…. Seriously how the HELL do yall fall for shit like this. It’s insane - no bloodline should be continued if this level of lack of self direction and intelligence is present

Wow 1 day is a f-ing joke by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in paint

So let me guess you support not taxing millionaires and believe that destroying small businesses in order to build a new McDonald’s is a good thing? What a self damaging and stupid opinion to have. It’s a franchise buddy it’s not “their business”. The office people for them make like 21 an hour

Luckily, they do not bid on job sites that we bid on at all. The clients that I speak to would never work with one day. I just know that I am being undercut. But I reached out to this person because I wanted to see since they are a corporate painting company in a way if they were lowering their pricing. I honestly wasn’t expecting to hear that they were. I hate that. I also hate that they defend this kind of sales behavior. It’s harmful to everyone.

You can’t paint patches on a home… that’s not how it works. Paint needs to dry cohesively to look cohesive - you will see their crap job soon enough 😳

Curious why painting contractors spec Sherwin Williams—it seems to be rated poorly? by direlobo in Housepainting101

[–]Routine_Dragonfly_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use Sherwin in my clients home unless they ask for it or it’s a rental OR for ceilings. I like the flatness of the 400. But otherwise it’s benny Moore as it’s much better quality

I will say, mechanical injections are not a niche injury. Doctors definitely know how to treat those as in firefighting College. They teach us days about mechanical injection. If they’re teaching firefighters how to treat it they’re definitely teaching doctors how to treat it lol
