Springtime for Contractors

Contractors, we don't envy the job you have, especially in Spring, and especially in this particular Spring. We thought you would enjoy this article and the list below (it is more about Building Contractors, but the headaches are similar for Landscaper Contractors).

How to Drive a Contractor Crazy- My favorites from the list:

1. Avoid making decisions.

2. Change orders frequently, then become outraged by the additional costs and delays.

3. Ask a contractor to provide a solution to a difficult design problem, then use a different contractor for the job.

4. Challenge a contractor’s expertise with sentences that include the words “my brother-in-law thinks,” “my neighbor thinks”

9. Schedule construction during the third trimester of pregnancy.

11. Call the contractor in the middle of the night and on weekends about problems that can wait until Monday.

12. Hover about a job while murmuring tragically, “It doesn’t look finished.” It’s a job site. It doesn’t look finished because it’s not finished.
