But those that show you their true colors, run, and run fast.  

I like trainer Brian Buffini's method of showing competence and character at the same time.One thing I used to send out once a month that people really liked was a nice half page size glossy postcard that had local events for that month listed on the color postcard side, and on the back side had a note from me with a paragraph about how the market was doing.

They are simple and contain all sorts of colorful charts, graphs and photos, but again, it's just lazy. 

I'll spare you an explanation of "under color of right."

Try and have them bid " apples for apples".1- Windows   , Vinyl, Low E.2- Six panel doors and no jambs but new trim.3- two tone paint, these two colors.4- New bathroom vanity, toilet, and remove old tile with new tile. 12' X 24".Etc , etc.Brent is smart and great article, I am just adding my point of view from a seasoned  Re- hab contractor!               

I’m trying to redo my floors because they are outdated but the hardwood is in good condition just want to refinish them a different color.

Or a dab of caulk and color match paint to the brick and you'd never notice it unless you looked for it.Is the outlet installed in brick or drywall?

I use a filler that is the same color as the paint often I fix the holes and no need to paint over.

I believe they make a color close to the hardwood floor you currently have.  

@Ashish Acharya thanks for the color!
