When and how to recommend another plumber/heating guy to someone,I only think of this now that I retired..
Personally I quit recommending anyone,why because in an effort to help someone it generally did not work out..
It must be so hard for the homeowners to find anyone, Angie’s list ratings and the likes are pure BS...web sites and advertising are usually misleading to put it nicely...I still get called by past steam customers and I have nobody I know or trust to turn them onto..The pressure on the homeowner to work within his budget,must be difficult...And I know the pressure of the businesses bottom line can be brutal...it’s just not a pretty picture...How to right the ship, and I hope it does, is a major task....Not sure this is a real rant,it’s just me letting out some thoughts..It’s definitely my opinion
