Should contractors work everyday on flip project

[Ben M.]

Should I expect the contractor to work on my house everyday on a flip project? If they are not on your house for one day when there are no major weather issues do you check in with them and ask why they were not working on your home?

Haha!  That’s really funny!  Note that I am a landlord, not a contractor… but I hire them regularly for flips we have done. 

You might think that… but from a contractor perspective, you are one of many obligations they probably have… not to mention looking for the next job, finishing up old jobs, sneaking in quick jobs, emergencies for other (dare I say) more important customers, or just needing / wanting a day off (think going to the doctor / dentist / child’s school event, what have you!)

  It’s definitely a conversation you should have with them… (setting expectations of a completion time)…and the really dedicated ones may be consistent, but know you are likely one of many demands for their time.   

For the average one, just be glad they show up when they do!  

All the best!
