Ouch. Sounds like you need some caution tape next time. I'm always super anal when it comes to safety clearances on commercial jobs. Another reason I prefer residential. Good luck!

They are not sparks...... by then ..........It's the hot SLAG and yes , you can hook up a fine painted vehicle real quick.
Thats exactly what a super does , looks for and trys to avoid insurance claims.
That is my daily position . Most contractors dislike the super on jobs , but , they are there to cover both your company's ace and yours.

Re: Demo Saw Car Door Damage


F'n bullst....no way it costs 5600 dollars just to repaint her car. My dad was a bodyman for 40 years and a simple repaint won't even come close. I'll bet I could fix up her car with a nice cut polish....I'll only charge 5000.00.

Hope it works out....but at the very least get your own estimate done. They're full of ****.
