I owned and operated my own custom home building business for over ten years.
It was a constant struggle.....an 80 hour work week is not unusual... when you have to keep a business running...estimates... job bidding, payroll etc......and a "no days #^&#^&#^&#^& mentality. When you include enough money in the bid to cover every aspect of the job...give the customer good service......pay your employees well....cover all the overhead...insurance....taxes....and more taxes. Lowballers prices will blow you out of the water and customers want you to match the low price or explain why your price is the right one. Getting caught up in the money grab with the government...suppliers...employees...customers...b urned me out.
With this company there is none of that to deal with. Gave me a brand new truck, gas card, cell phone...no headaches...flexible hours...no customers to deal with.......I just do what I do best....finish work.
