[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 522474, member: 17152"] What should of happened is when the father came to look at the job the customer should have asked how much was it going to cost, at the very least. This would have avoided any ill feelings after the event. If the customer didn’t like the price then he’d have the option to turn it down. So is the tradesperson at fault? (That’s not do I agree his price is correct - I don’t know the extent of the job) Sadly and it’s no disrespect to any keen diyer, but you usually find such a person feels that they are overcharged regardless of which trade attends to do a job, this is because in their mind, there isn’t a lot involved, I could do it in this amount of time, etc. This type of person is often the worst type of customer and the one that is likely to run their mouth about you after you have gone. Very often it has nothing to do with what the tradesperson does it all to do with their thinking. Lesson to learn is always ask for a price. [/QUOTE]
