PS: I don't have any issue with paying a fair amount for someone's expertise or skill. It seems 'a fair amount' is open to quite a bit of interpretation though. I have resigned myself to the fact that most tradesmen are looking for between $250-500 a day although at the high end of that range I have high expectations.
My comment on expensive remodels is not to bash contractors at all - more that I think it's bizarre that people think they "need" to spend so much money to make a difference in their home. I'm redoing a 3/3 to modern standards and although I'm past my original budget, I will be annoyed if I exceed $75k. |
I agree with you! Most should look for that range per day. The problem is that they had a run where they getting obscene numbers for a day's work. And now, that things are back to where they should be, they are crying like little babies. It's a good time if you need work done. Provided you can find one that does good work - something I have a very hard time doing. I can't even get anyone to do "average" work.
