Great expectations!
Canadian Contractor riskAlec Caldwell posts about the mutual distrust between too many contractors and homeowner-customers... Neither side trusts the other, too often, and the whole thing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy...
Here’s another comment from CARAHS president Alec Caldwell…
“Some homeowners sometimes expect more from contractors than they are willing to pay and there are those renovators who receive good money, but fail to deliver. My conversation with a homeowner yesterday was, they would not pay the contractor for the work rendered and the contractor was taking them to small claims. Nothing new here, some might say!
“You can never tell who is right and who in wrong in cases like this, yet I know there are no real winners in this game. Homeowners tell others about low quality work from renovators. Contractors, once bitten, twice shy, are reluctant to give new customers breaks. It’s all about expectations – and sometimes self-fulfilling prophesies.”
