MICK the Tiler
The job may be gone but you may not be forgotten "LATER"
Reminds me of a job I did some 10 years ago. a cobblestone driveway with some 200,000 individual cobbles to lay. The client had no concerns with money they were "LOADED". My quote came in at $150,000, yet they chose a guy to do it for $50,000 (Go figure).
9 months went passed, then I got a call from the lady of the house the other tilers had left town and there were problems with the drive.
To cut a long story short the whole lot had to be ripped up and started over. This time I got the job but the price had ballooned to $250,000 and took me 9 months to complete.
So now they have a driveway that has been down for 10 years all still perfect has cost them twice as much as my original quote and the referral work that flowed from this one has kept me going ever since.
So my advice is if you fell concerned about a job be honest explain your concerns question everything be polite. And make sure you can live with the outcome that you produce for your clients. Honesty, reputation,quality is what you should strive for "THE PRICE" is just a number.
