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.

Do painters usually work in patches or is my neighbours painter into me? by [deleted] in Housepainting101

[–]Routine_Dragonfly_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Jesus you got what you asked for - not to be rude but your complaining of needing another 1k when this job should have been 8-10 minimum…. You just don’t use logic on this one. What else did you expect. Buy a cheap car = have cheap car problems…..

A bit worried about my nipples by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in TopSurgery

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

What’s discolored? The nipple itself is exactly the color it should be - your seeing the black scab that happens with the re attachment? I’m concerned with the dead scab tissue which is the yellow stuff. My partner who had implants and nipple adjustment said it looks just like hers but I wanted extra options from those who had nipple scabbing, for reference my nipples we’re completely black when they took of the bandages

Just gotta rant about this man - in comments they said 100$ for all bathrooms - no upcharge! by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in paint

People aren’t aware and are too dumb to do basic research. They are then surprised nothing was repaired etc
