Another day in the life of a contractor

I got up around 5:30 and worked on a bid that i had to get done today.  I then went and installed grab bars in a tile shower for a great customer.  Lunch time followed by two meetings with prospective customers.  I really enjoy my job because I never know what I will be doing from one day to the next.

Its spring.  That means time for larger projects, interior colors, and outside projects such as painting, siding, and roofs.

The Process

In my business I find it's tough wearing so many hats.  One minute I am tearing out walls and the next minute I am sitting with customers working on custom design work.  This is part of what I love about my job, there are new challenges daily along with new products and processes. 

I am committed to continue learning and growing as a professional in my field.  It is tough explaining how different companies are when some customers only wants to see the price.  If I decided I would have no problem under cutting other bidders with many of he deceptive practices I see.  However, t I have faith there are enough customers who understand the difference what we do and what others do to keep me in business.
