Remodeling Contractors Surviving The Recession
There are thousands of remodeling contractors all over
the United States that are only interested in doing a good job and
making their clients happy. There are a few who think a little
different, but for the most part, remodeling contractors are interested
in making their clients happy, so that they can refer them more
business.
Whenever I go into someone's house for an estimate, I get the same
reaction. I get treated like a second-class citizen who is going to take
advantage of them and do a crappy job. Things have got better for me
after I quit working for this type of person and found people to work
for, that treated me like I was treating them.
If you're a remodeling contractor that's making a difference, I salute
you, because you represent the future of remodeling. If you're a
contractor who isn't interested in this philosophy, I truly wish that
you would find another business to get into.
Often when remodeling contractors go through tough times like were
dealing with right now in 2009, we get the opportunity to weed out some
of the unscrupulous ones. A contractor told me once,” There's nothing
like a good recession to get rid of these unscrupulous and dishonest
contractors,” and it usually does.
The good remodeling contractors, who really care about serving their
clients and providing them with top notch workmanship, will be in
business for a long time. If you're one of these contractors who is
going through some tough times right now, I'm here to offer you some
hope and provide you with a little bit of inspiration.
Keep sailing your boat on the same course. Don't stray from your way of
doing business, just because you see someone else making more money, but
they're doing it in a dishonest way. All I have to say to you is stick
with it and keep doing good work. Things usually get better and it might
not be long, before you have more work than you know what to do with.
