Thank you for acknowledging that it’s not an issue of laziness or incompetence. Some people value their free time differently. A lot of tasks for some people are on the “I just don’t want to do this…” list. If someone else can earn a living accommodating those folks, it’s win-win.

I agree, some people reach a point in life where it's just make sense to pay someone and not be bothered with it, regardless how small and easy. When I was younger I built our 800 linear foot fence with three gates, recently I called someone to rehang two of the gates...haha.

I teach my technicians to take before, during,after pictures, and a short video of the item working. I have them upload it all to a work order as backup to the work. But most importantly they are to test the item for proper functionality.

Im also in the "home improvement" business since 2003. I work with one guy. We do full remodels too and exterior house painting etc. Business is and has always been pretty good. Once people find someone reliable/trustworthy theyre clients for "life". Referrals are earned and guarantee more work to come.

Hey! I have been the Apt management for almost 20 years and there is that common problem I have seen where the screws that hold in a door latch or deadbolt have lost their grip, and the typical solution is glue, sticks, putty, or that ugly metal sleeve that sits over the door. There is this new hardware piece that sits INSIDE the door alongside the latch. Its threaded to receive the machine screws, tightening down the latch. Its called ReSecure Latch. They have a couple videos on here showing how it works. Maybe something that could help you in your next home repair.

[@cledusvandamme4513]

There’s definitely something to be said about being the person who shows up for the estimate and the work. My customers all have commented on how nice it is to deal with one person. Not having to deal with a sales person, then someone to come out and measure and order parts and then another person to install goes a long way with people being willing to pay more. And I always welcome customers calling electricians or plumbers for these types of fixes. When you get a $250.00 bill just for them to walk through the door, $350.00 for a ceiling fan is cheap! Keep up the great work!!

This is why I invite my customers to shop around. You think it’s too much? Feel free to shop around and get bids. You aren’t going to find an electrician or a plumber to come out for smaller jobs, and if they do you’re gonna be paying a lot more for it. If you have the skills, by all means save yourself the money and do it yourself.

So I installed several fans in units that had those same type surface mount fixtures, and I didn't add a brace or anything..was I supposed to? I have always seen it done this way and always done it. Or maybe here in texas all the round junction boxes are always supported properly to hold a ceiling fan? I think ours are metal and have to have braces across the studs or something because it for sure was a little diff than the ones you removed. Maybe I am ok ;)

Lots of spackling and painting over the years, plumbing, installed one ceiling fan. Vinyl flooring, install toilets, light fixtures, lots of copper plumbing. Installing new joists and columns.
