A whirlwind of a ride...

To say that we have been extremely busy would be an underestimation. Since the beginning of the season, some six weeks ago, we have been extremely lucky to have our clout full with bids after bids coming in our direction. All we can ask is that we hope it continue.

We have started building our clientele from a referral prospective. Instead of the usual way of chasing clients, we are been referred to by one satisfied client to another.  

Stay tune for more...

We just won a well earned bid!

           Yep, The story behind this bid is one of persistence.  After my agency referred him to me. The home owner and i agreed on an unusual appointment to be at his house by 6am, last Tuesday. And since the place is all the way in Southampton, I left the comfort of my bed at 5:30am to drive the nearly twenty miles distance. But when i got there he had an emergency that night with his daughter. Not knowing, I sat there for about half hour without words. I drove home,  licking my wound.
            Any how being a gentleman, he called me back that evening and we scheduled a new appointment for Saturday. On Saturday, i got there at 12:30pm, as we have agreed, but again, he arrived an hour and half late. He called to ask me, if i would come back another time. I told him i would wait.
            The job had been bid on by another contractor already. He was kind enough to tell me; without hesitance i beat the other contractor with $700.00. And we got the job.
          I will take my team there this Saturday. I'm hoping that we can do it in three to four days. Now that's what they called the heart of a business man. Persistence. Persistence. And more Persistence.
          Picture from this job will be available next week.

          Later.

Just wrapped week two,...


I just wrapped up week two today, and already exhausted. I guess the yearning was only the result of  boredom from the long vacation. The good news is that jobs are coming from all corners or from the woods if you might add. I added a new guy to our team. Currently about to wrap up the first major contract of the season. It's an EP Henry job. The irony is that i'm doing it for my neighbor.
