So Bruce,
Do you give an estimate as to what the work will cost?
How is the pricing sorted out?
Also, is this for totally new work or for retro-fits of new lighting in existing installations?
Sorry about all the questions, just curious.
No problem asking questions... that's why we're on a forum, to learn from each other.
Most people do ask for estimates, but I do get the odd customer that justs wants it done and doesn't care how much it costs. Those people usually get charged less than people that ask for an estimate.
With an estimate, I assume the worst and charge accordlingly.
These jobs are replacement of existing light fixtures or adding lights where none existed before.
Orginally I approached the shop owner about doing installs for him. We agreed to try, but he made it perfectly clear that if he recommended me, then just one customer complaint and I was gone because he felt that if he recommended me, then problems would reflect badly on him.
In 2-1/2 years, never had one complaint. Its a win-win for both of us.
Bruce
