It can not be good enough where the playing isn't fair big companies get there money without a stroke being made in full , so at less they have the money to hire the amount of personnel to do the job even contact some of us to do the same job that we were denied and some customers are just as shock to see us all because paying us in advance was a problem, where the small man have to do it himself cause he can't afford to hire someone without the Capitol out front and have to be doing more than one job to balance, I have done jobs where i have been paid in full ,can count them on one hand in 20 yrs and there have finish in a timely manner full knowing if any problems arrives I would be able to solve it quickly , but the are si few cause people like you dont trust us even if we cant get there at less we have the money to hire someone to help us out but unfortunately that is not the case ,even in turns of getting some material to get it finish without delay instead of waiting on the owner to get there are so many thing people like you don't see but are so quick to judge . I even did a whole kitchen counter for a lady and she totally complained about the price but a leading big manufacturer in that business did a bathroom vanity at 5 feet and got three the amount I charge for the whole kitchen without any questions ask and it was not a problem plus it was poorly done. So stop beating up on the small tradesmen who are always at the disadvantage.

@@veronicanbarrow our builder is a man named Wendy Perch. Older gentleman. He works with a group about 6 people. I trust him and have recommended him to others for any kind of work. He built the Montrose Supermarket on Salvation Army Road just above Oistins Hill in Kingsland. His price was very reasonable. If you do choose someone else to build, I’d still recommend him to At least handle digging down the foundation as he always goes straight down to rock unlike some.
