Jamie,
You shouldn't Consider them competition! Their training & skill is not at your level, so why should their price be!

Well, even though it was a mild winter we where fortunate to stay very busy. I have that to thank to this web site! Here are some pictures of some problem jobs before we got to straighten them out.

The crazy part is a lot of the local competition refers to us as cocky because of our high prices and ability to work with hydronics.

Thinking man's hydronics...............

As in, you really have to think in order to determine what the installer was trying to do in the first place. I especially like the picture titled Bruce 2. It looks like it was designed on the fly while the installer was drunk to boot! If I was the Homeowner of that piece of handywork, I'd never have paid him til he got it right. 9 times out of 10, if it looks right, it is right. It's not that hard to tell when you've been screwed by a wannabe.

Funny...

how our alleged competition "views" us.

"Those guys are PRICEY. You can tell they charge a lot because they drive around in real big, super stocked clean high cube vans with their NAME written all over the outside of it... And to boot, they get it done right the FIRST time. The gaul... I'm tellin'ya."

My definition of their interpretation of "cocky" is "Well you know, these ol'steam systems are cantankerous as hell. It may take our guys a couple of trips, be we can eventually get it to quit banging and clanking, mostly, we hope..."

When someone says "Your competition say blah blah blah about your work..." I reply with, We have no competition. There are a bunch of wanna bees out there emulating what we do, but NONE of them has gotten it down pat..."

Cockey, pricey, belligerant, conceited, arrogant. I've heard them all. I just smile, and ask them if they have any other questions on the 6 page proposal I just presented to them.

As for price, I tell my competiton and my customer that we charge what we charge only to eke out single digit profit at the end of the year, and there ain't NO ONE in our company driving a HumVee for business NOR pleasure. Its not what we WANT to charge, it's what we HAVE to charge if we are to stay in business and be there when they need us... We "track" our costs and adjust (yes, even downward) as needed. It's what most successful people call "doing business".

Just keep doing what you're doing bunky. It's the RIGHT thing.

Boy, you are getting cocky aren't you. Just kidding. You are right, there are so many company's out there that just do not have a clue. Even the ones that have been around for a long time. It really is kind of scary and I really feel for the homeowners that have no idea what incompetence is lurking out there.

I wonder if someone has the formula to figure out how much weed was smoked between all those messed up jobs. It is amazing how much of this horrible work goes on out there. Keep fighting the good fight.
