It sound so easy but and heres the big but we just need the money work slow so we jump at the chance to make some money with a job a little out side of what we do.
most of us have been there your doing a little yard work and your client asks if you know someone that can build a deck or dock .
maybe your a painter and they ask if you could instal some flooring .
well some of the time it works out but far to many times it turns into a mess and you wind up losing money .
This sort of thing can damage a new business and many have been affected , the saying is true keep it simple and work hard to grow your company .
just today I have been to 2 job sites where things went bad one was a property management company
tried to build a deck , it was a mess . the other was a handy man service fig they could build an addition lucky for the home owner they did not get very far before she notice something was not right
what kills me is how many people out there think they can do the work I saw a pic of a deck by a carpentry company on twitter today that has problems they have placed the decking back and forth so the the joint goes right down the centre off set by what looks like 12 " it clearly shows that these guy do not have the experience to be on there own .
I do feel for all those people out there that find them selfs left with substandard work because workers just don't know when to say no.
If more home owner would ask for recent ref and google how the work is to be done then maybe just maybe this kind of bad judgement will stop.
Remember you only hurt your self in the long run for a little extra money now so keep it simple and stick to what you know best
