How To Deal With A Contractor That Constantly Lies
One of the biggest problems with any relationship in
business is dishonesty. I have dealt with my fair share of dishonest
people, including my ex-wife. There is nothing worse than someone lying
to you or trying to convince you that something else is true.
I don't need to say this more than once, but a contract is usually the
best way to deal with dishonest contractors or homeowners. If you have
enough good information inside of your building contract, you're
definitely going to limit the amount of problems you have, while working
on the project.
If the contract specifies a certain toilet and includes its model
number, this will usually eliminate any problems that you will have
between the two parties.
One of the worst things that I've had to deal with in business is
dishonest contractors and clients. I have had my fair share of each one
of them lying to me on a regular basis. I've had contractors tell me
that they didn't owe me any more money and one time I needed to provide
one year's worth of paperwork, simply to receive $8,000.
A construction contract is one of the best ways to deal with dishonest
contractors, but I would like to give you another thing to think about.
If you find a contractor that lies to you, make sure that you don't ever
work for them again and it wouldn't be a bad idea, to share this
information with other contractors.
It's not hard to find honest contractors to work with, but when you do
find contractors that don't think twice about lying to you, you can
eliminate the entire problem, if you don't ever work for them again.
