What I think people want to see from their hired Contractor

About

What's important to you? Everyone is an individual, a human being. And as human beings our homes are our sanctuary, it is where we go to relax and be ourselves. It is in that light that I have come up with a list of values that are important to every person when hiring help with a project in their home. We typically respond positively to characteristics like punctuality, efficiency, honesty, transparency in their work, good craftsmanship, humility, and most definitely a courteous and friendly demeanor. From personal experience I know that when you find someone with most of these values it is rare, let alone ALL of them. I have been in the trades for over thirty years I have worked under many different contractors, and alongside many craftsmen and honestly feel a if maybe 2 out of 10 displayed most of the aforementioned values to me. I can definitely say I have been fortunate enough to see all of these in one person, and although he had passed many years ago I still strive to follow his example even today.
