Have a small job? Don’t get Superior

I made the mistake of telling Mark at Superior Builders, Inc. that I needed a quote from his company on what I considered to be a small job at my house. Then Mark made the mistake of admitting to me that this is a turnoff to him because when people have it in their minds that the job is small, they can’t be convinced that it’s actually a big job, at coincidentally a much larger price. I decided to humor Mark…

Me: Okay, let’s just say I have just had a change of heart, and I’d like to have your company give me a quote on a job of undeterminate size.
Mark: Yeah, we’d have to pass on that.

I’m not saying that you should not call Superior Builders, Inc. for your contracting needs. I’m just saying don’t tell them you want a small deck built, lest they try to convince you that you actually want the hanging gardens of Babylon in your backyard.

  1. Have you tried contacting any of the skilled laborers on Craigslist? We’ve had tons of success with CL vendors lately. Many of them will have the “no job too small” wording right there in their ad.

  4. That’s the least of your problems. Just try to find hanging gardeners, even on Craigslist. It’s impossible these days.

  5. I hear you can barter most small construction jobs on CL for meth. You just have to make sure they don’t make off with all your copper pipes when they leave.
