I never really considered small claims court.

I'm looking to do work for a new customer who flips houses.

On the venture side guidance, advisory roles, introductions to early customers, or other strategic partnership value is a big deal to the companies VCs fund.  

So I explained to him how snap tile works and even told him how to sell it to his customer.

This ensures that they can't later claim that they were not paid and lien your house, causing title problems that may prolong or prevent the sale of your property.  

Most of these customers let me know in advance the model and the symptom so I have a few days to get the parts and schedule the repair between my other jobs.When it's laundromats or senior housing places, where everything has to be fixed the day they call, I always charge a minimum no matter how long the repair takes because I have to make last minute changes to my schedule to accomodate their needs.

The bank now wants to close on the property, will not extend, and we can deal with the insurance claim ourselves.  

So my thoughts on this are they trying to reduce their risk or force customers in to another product.

Very common method with personal houses, single family, duplexes, multi units, etc and can remove a huge "Potential" tax burden.I m sure some the BP members have a generic Contract you can Customize for this deal, eliminating a lawyer fee.

We back up everything we do with a 100% money back guarantee because we know that happy customers are repeat customers.
