I hate anyone losing business to uninsured and unlicensed workers..but they are out there. (

And they continually get jobs, and repeat business. Can`t be ignored if you ever hope to deal with it.

At 46 I think I been around the block a few times and seen enough of this , maybe its diff in Fayetteville; no hacks or illegals there taking jobs.

Coatings matter, buy your own, dont rely on the floorman if you feel you cant trust him.

Equipment (brand, color, size, speed,weight,) is irrelevant to consumer as long as the job is done properly.
Maybe your clients.... definately not mine... I work for the higher end client who will pay more for the name that I have created for myself and my business. Those who don't go for the cheapest price and are willing to pay more for being dustless and using commerical grade finish that is 4x's the price of the "hacks", but go on their friends referral.... I know what these guys are charging and Im charging double what they are..
