Economic Times, could mean CHEAP WORK

Our economy is not the greatest at this moment, as we all know. Home owners are fixing up there homes instead of selling and buying new. Which really helps businesses like ours. However, without new homes or business building new buildings a lot of people are out of work and this will turn people to doing side jobs as a way to make a living for there families.

While most of these types of workers could be good employees, they may lack the skills to be a good business man or a concrete finisher. They go from being told what is needed to be done to trying to remember what all is needed to get the job done. They may have a very good CHEAP price to do the work and say they have the experience, but your results may reflect the price you paid when compared to a LICENSED CONTRACTOR who is bonded, insured and is legal to operate with a license.

I have seen many jobs performed over the course of this summer and have been called many more times to fix a job that was not done right. Concrete is not like paint, if you do not like it buy another gallon of anther color and repaint. To repair a bad concrete job sometimes cost you double the original cost just to fix it. So, when you add that to the original cost, you paid 3 times the amount you wanted because he was the CHEAPEST bid given. Oh, by the way, how much was that Licensed Contractors bid, $500.00 more or was it just $200.00.

Licensed Contractors are not CHEAP, some are AFFORDABLE, it is a matter of doing your homework and using the resources that are available to you such as, BBB & State Contractors Board. There is a difference between choosing a CHEAP Contractor & the lowest bid from an AFFORDABLE LICENSED CONTRACTOR.
