Why Do Contractors Have A Bad Reputation?

[Shabreya Bangura]

Hi BP Community,

I’m new to Real Estate Investing so don’t know much about contractors but in all of my research and talking to other investors, contractors seem to have a bad reputation.

I’m just curious to know why and if they really are that disloyal/dishonest. If so, what is the deal? Why is that the case??

Thanks in advance for enlightening this newbie!

Or because you were expecting a black cabinet handle and got a silver one. I think communication and a extremely defined scope of work will go along way.

When we put together estimates we show each line item and cost to the owner. That lets them see what they are getting and how much. They can then chose if they want to do everything or a portion of the work.

Just my 2 cents
