As a rule, someone bitching about nickels and dimes is the same guy who is pinching them.

You're right. I suppose the OP not answering the question is an answer in itself.

 

[fourcornerhome]

Probably doen't know the answer. I bet both. hourly pay and 1099'ed,no bennies.

 

[stinky]

Personally I would not expect any of my guys to provide their own materials.

 

[BamBamm5144]

I told all my guys they better bring their own materials for the job on Monday. Hope they show up!

 

[wnc viking]

I would make them buy my lunch also

The subject of the thread and the lack of an answer makes this pretty clear.. Hopefully the guy wont let himself be screwed any more than he already is and will walk when he doesn't get paid for that next box of nails.. And hopefully the op will learn something about treating people fairly and pay the next guy, after the hassle of finding someone of the same quality to replace him

Sounds like your a TEAM nazi. Just don't see the term team, working in this situation. Did you see the rotten sill? Did you have in your bid to fix a rotten sill or did he bid the job? I don't see how there should be a term nickel and diming anyway,especially if it is legit. So many Questions

 

[Tom Struble]

:blink:hey easy with the nazi stuff

the op operates a legitimate business,you would know that if you been here a few years

i suggest we ease up a tad:drink:

i have a guy i use for roofing , he also does some siding as well. he is very good and i am happy with his work except one thing; he nickel and dimes me for everything.
example, the other day i payed him and he tells me he had to use a roll of his own ridge vent and a box of his nails.. now, i have other crews who wouldnt even mention this to me. i give this guy so much work and feel if he uses some of his own material ( within reason) why even bring it up to me. believe me, its not the money, its the nickel and diming.
if he gets a 30 sq siding job and has to replace a sheet of plywood he wants to be paid. if he changes a small amount of rotted window trim, he asks for 25 bucks.. i pay thks guy well and give him alot of work as i said so i feel little extra things should be par for the course. now i have a built up animosity towards the guy. i want to talk to him and tell him if he intends to be part of my crew, i dont want to hear about him using his own nails or having to use some of his own felt paper. remember, im not talking about alot of material.
am i wrong here?

Lay it all out…..

How much did you pay him for the last job?
How much did you make off that job?
How much money did he make per day?
Did he need supervision from your employees?
Does he have a license and insurance?

I think he subbed out the job to Struble.

 

[Bowtechian]

Ok maybe not nazi. But the team thing ,really. Does it really matter how many years you Know someone on the internet, I don't think you really know him, unless he did sub that job to you.:shifty: :laughing:
