Summer is HERE

OK, the weather that we were looking for is finally here.  We went from a high of 76 to a high of 96 in 2 days.  We are still below the average, but without time to acclimate, is seems much hotter than it really is.

Now is the time to get to the exterior jobs that have been waiting for warm weather.  KEEP bidding though.  Even if you are really busy, bid everything that you are asked to look at.  Interior or exterior, small and large.  Maybe bid the extra/not so attractive jobs a little higher, but bid everything.

The bids from last year that come in, let them know that material costs have risen about 4-5% and you need to cover that increase.  Make sure that any extra work that is due to the passing time and seasons will be extra.  Don’t let the customer drive you to doing extra work for free, when it was their choice to postpone the job.  (unless you like to work for nothing)  If you work cheap once, it will be expected that you will always be willing to work cheap.
