It’s not so much the timing or the cost that keeps me away from doing the project, but man getting quality work done and getting people to finish jobs is what I’m hearing is tough lately. I’m not trying to get into a headache.

Pool contractors are notoriously unreliable

I just spent $5k on landscaping and I have at least two full days of work myself to finish it. Had them come back out to “fix” their work already and not looking to complain anymore.

This was with one of the bigger companies around here.

At that rate, I’ve probably done $30-40k in work myself this year. Will be doing it myself from now on. Or hire my own Hispanics to get it done, because that’s essentially what they do, they just dump some laborers in your yard and don’t communicate well with them or check their work.
