Leaving repairman alone while work is being done

[James Chun II]

What’s your thoughts on leaving a repairman alone in your tenants unit while they work? A big no no or is it acceptable?

It all depends on if I trust their work or not. New contractors I never leave alone. Think of contractors like teenagers... they do the right thing in front of you but when you leave they slack off.

You can’t blame them though, It’s a great business model - do the least amount of work possible for the most money.

Then you arent hiring contractors . Now if you have to be there why not just do it yourself and save the money .

People get really confused on the difference between contractors and day laborers around here. When you are standing there watching the guy doing the job YOU ARE now the contractor and that dude is your employee or sub. It all comes down to being a cheapo. Hire the right company to do the job right and move on folks. Trying to hire cheapest idiots off the street to attempt to save pennies on repairs is not how you'll make money in this business.
