On my way home today after booking a nice repair project I got a weird call.

The caller, with an eastern european accent, wanted to know what we charged per square foot for tuck pointing work.

Me: We don't charge by the square foot. What is it that you need tuck pointed?

caller: I have a house that needs some spot tuck pointing, about 2300 square feet. I need to know what you charge per square ft.

me: Sir, we charge by the job, not per square ft. We give free estimates. I'd be happy to come and take a look at your project & give you an estimate. Where is the project located?


caller: Look, I'm a bricklayer contractor & know how things work. You already know what your basic costs are for this type of work. What's a ballpark price for tuck pointing 2300 sq ft?

me: You're a contractor & you know how things work??? Really?? Then why are you on my phone???

caller: click:cry:


Has this happened to any of you guys?
Not lately.

:laughing:
