Job Problem

Mike Finley

Sage you are misreading his post. He didn't do this job at a reduced rate. He actually increased his rates from $1.50 sq/ft to $2.00 sq/ft. This wasn't a "charity gig" this was a normal job that he actually charged more than he normally does for!

Damn, actually it does get even better I missed all of this -

Even better! A pattern with a border and an inset diagonal!

and of course the signature of every troll once he lays out the bait... the setting of the hook -

Mike I went back and read the original post. I think he is doing it for $1.50 less than his normal charge, but $.50 more than he charged his neighbors. And threw in all kinds of other ********************. Am I still off? That's how it sounded to me anyway.

Which of course brings up the ultimate reason this is all BS. @$1.50 sq ft of course we assume that Rick's work is flawless and will last 30 years.

To prove it, all GCs here please tell us the normal rates you see from a tiling sub for installing 12x12 ceramic tile in a grid pattern.

Then let's talk about what 20x20 porcelain on a diagonal insert with a border would cost, including all the demo and prep.

- this is simply ridiculous. The only poster here thinking clearly is Robie with Like I said, if this guy is actually for real, he is 1 in a million and no doubt an unlicensed, un-insured at best jack-legger living hand to mouth at best and blaming everybody else for him being the whore.

sage

Paid $4.65 per sqft for 13X13 layed diagonal on last job.

Exactly. Case closed. (at least for me. You all can continued to being jacked off by Rick)

Mike Finley

Rick said -

$2800 divided by 1400 sq/ft = $2.00 sq ft.

.50 cents more than his normal charges of $1.50 sq/ft, and as he said minus his gas, his dump charges and a new chisel(?) whatever that was supposed to mean.

sage

Whatever, hope he learns from it.

ProWallGuy

Nah, it ain't the world's best painter.
Just another contractor who is learning a quick lesson (harsh as it may be) on the economics of a job and contracting law.
BTW, RemodelingMan is not in Mike's hood, he's typing away somewhere around Tampa, Fla.

You have already taken a faiamount of guff for this but I think I am gonna add some more.

First off you have no place being "in buisness" if you live hand to mouth enough to have to get money up fron from a job to pay your bills. Unless I am supplying material I never get money up front. If I do its to cover material costs only. My good work always ensures I get paid in the end.

What happens if you screw something in their house up like breaking the oven door while moving it for free. You think they are just gonna let you slide?

Second, please stop whoring yourself at ridicoulously low rates. You bring into suspect every legit installer after you that charges the correct amount.
If you need to lowball that badly to get work and are that concerned about getting paid you may want to consider working for someone else for a bit till you learn a little more.

Glasshousebltr

If he is for real, for god sakes remodman, don't walk, ya make it tuff on us legits.

Think about how bad that HO can screw you in court if you put him out of his house until he finds someone else.

Get that customer on paper now! with terms you can both live with.

Mike Finley

Typical troll- more interested in stirring the sh#t then anything else.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Regardless of where you are posting from, you are still an ass. You will never be able to hide from that.
