It's incredible - many of these guys I just put up with it because they were doing a good job, reasonably priced and it was impossible to find anyone else (this was back when the real estate industry was humming). I once gave some painters permssion to spend the night there - I showed up unannounced at night and they were all sprawled out in front of my big TV, beer cans everywhere with their 150 pound dog roaming the house. They would also have lunch, relax and smoke on my deck over the water during the day. They were cheap and did a good job but they took advantage of the surroundings. Other guys were worse - I've gotten "verbal" bills, "just send me $40K", and when I ask them to detail it out I get something scrawled in pencil.

ARV - my house is on the water near Clark's Landing.

jmen24, are you a contractor?
