I have worked as a union carpenter and on my own. I had a company Mostly Maintenance and Construction Lic #690630 and found the bidding on remodels to be competitive too. This was during better times even. The LOW Bidder wins. Quality loses. Insurance costs were too high,workmans comp was ABSURD.BondsLiabilityNot all the Low Bidders had wokmans comp. Much less liability MY BAD PLAYING BY THE RULES If I would have been CUT-THROAT and heartless I would have hired day laborers hanging around the Truitt and White parking lot and ripped them off. I would still be in business like some OTHERS I have seen in Action. Yes I have seen way too many terrible practices when money gets tight. Bids are TOO LOW. PEACE Citizens do not realize the assembly line attitude behind home building now.
