Hi,
Today, I
want to give you a useful tip that could just help you out one day.
Sometimes
I have people call me up asking for me to give them a price over the phone for
French polishing work.
And when I
tell them that I am unable to do that why? Because how can you price for
something that you haven’t seen?
For example, a few days ago I was asked to price for three chairs, again I thought that I have
to see them for myself, good job that I did because not only were they in a
very bad state, I noticed that one of the back legs had a nasty break in it
thus making for a very difficult repair.
Also, the
chairs were covered with fabric that was going to be changed, however; I would
have to tear back the fabric to gain access to the leg.
Most
people are honest but every now and then, I do and have come across people that
are not completely honest with me and will not point out known faults with
their furniture, until I notice them for myself.
My point
is I would strongly suggest that you like me only give a price for works once
you have given the item a thorough inspection.
And going
back to my inspection of the three chairs, after giving what I thought was a
reasonable price the client declined it as it was thought to be too
expensive.
Well, at
least I saved myself, what could have been what I call a headache job.
Hope this
will be of some use to you one day?
Thank you
for taking the time to read my posts.
