Too many people are watching too much HGTV and similar channels and
getting the idea that a contractor is supposed to finish a job very
fast. This is wrong. A contractor doesn’t work by the hour like you
do; he works by the job. The more carefully he or she works the better
a job he or she is going to do. So the slower he works the better. No
I’m not talking about those contractors that come late to the job
sight and leave early or never show-up at all. That’s not working
slowly, that’s just not working period. Unless you’re planing on
selling the house and moving away as soon as possible as homeowner
what you want is a carefully and meticulously done job not a fast one.


Sorry Molly, the shorter the time working 'by the job', the sooner one
can start the next job.
Working slower can also mean inexperience or laziness.
The contractor sets the price for the job. He then pays his workers by
the hour.
