In my area, blue-collar bros like this have so much work they just arbitrarily reject large swaths of potential customers.

They should probably just jack up their prices until demand levels out, but the services they offer are so necessary and demand likely so inflexible that they'd have to gouge the shit out you before it made a dent in demand, and then every customer would (rightly) be a whiny little bitch who's a pain in the ass to deal with.

I've been trying to get a water softener replaced, a tankles water heater installed, and some drywall repaired, and dudes are just clearly blowing me off. I had to fucking beg to get some dudes to take my $27K for a new HVAC system last year.

I had no issues getting a small "Land Services" outfit to do a ~15K+ excavation job last year. They are always busy and hopping around for jobs though. Maybe it depends on region but out here the tradesmen are generally dependable and paying their taxes.

"Hi Rodney! This is walt from East Bumblefuck; my realtor Sharon referred me to you, and you came by my place a couple weeks back to look over my plumbing system to see about installing the softener and whole-house filter.

Anyway, I was wondering if you'd made any progress on getting me that estimate? We're ready to go whenever you are; just let me know what to put on the check! I left you a voicemail last week but I couldn't tell for sure it was your box haha"

Everyone used to always poast about how much better / more lucrative it would be to be a blue-collar dude than a lawyer, but I feel like a lot of smug heebs and white-collar-brainwashed yuck-yucking cattle-brained goyim on xo (myself included) can't come to grips with that being the real story and so silently internally reject it as forcememe flame.

But it's really clear to me that if you took the intellect and business acumen it takes to be a low-six-figure lawyer and applied it to a trade, you could make way more money. As a business proposition, some of this shit like "well and septic services" is more akin to being a public-defender contractor than being some extensively-networked and -marketed cslg-type.

update: paid for survey/visit which included quote, they came took a look around and said Id get a quote back soon (didnt get one) (ghosted)

had to practically beg for the quote I already paid for

called them like once every 2 days (eventually found out I would never have heard back) got a quote after calling them over and over, like 2 days after the call later in my email, massively markedup , literally just a blank "invoice" w the most barebones text next to it in a column

no idea how they arrived at any numbers, its so high theyre hoping i stfu or just pay up? this is after taking all the initative and forcing them to deal with me

supposed to get started today

2 hours past time

no show

no call

Im an 'asshole' btw for expecting a morsel of energy from these people btw, this is bonkers lol

The more I think about op the funnier it is

A group of timorous gossipy lawyers absolutely flabbergasted that someone would turn down an opportunity to do more work. It's as unexpected as if he sprouted wings and flew away. Meanwhile, the average xoer would be sending three groveling "thank for your business" texts and staying until 11:00 pm to clean out this dude's toilet blockage

I have moved to 100% mexican illegal labor. You can get your pick of skilled guys from the HD parking lot for any manual job. And if you know one latino handyman he can hook you up with more skilled guys like gas, electric, plumbing easily. They are all busy but have the “money is money” work ethic and will come. None are licensed or bonded of course so you need to pick and choose the work they do and decide on your risk tolerance. I wouldnt have them do a huge project but like fixing a small pipe issue or whatever is fine. Most of them do a lot of work for licensed white GCs so they know and do work to code. Have them explain what code is for whatever job and how they meet it, and then go look it up yourself to see if they were right. They always have been in my experience. If it’s work you doubt or need a permit for you can usually pull the permit yourself as the homeowner and then tell the guy you did it DIY and just watch as he inspects it and what to look for and he will sign off.

In my city there’s a couple of companies that advertise on TV. They have trucks and an army of foreigners they’ll send out same day. Then they bid the job for 3x-5x what it should cost. They get hired all the time despite the premium.
