My husband has been very stressed out with multiple jobs and their dead-lines. This one job in particular, Deans House, he has been really frustrated.
First off, Dean has Justin doing these jobs at his house for a bid amount of $6000 and some odd dollars. The actual amount to do this job was over $10,000.
Along the way Dean keeps adding things to the bid that he wants done for no additional cost. Well, Justin keeps saying no, but Justin's Father (Business Partner), keeps saying he'll take care of it. Well, when you have a lot of little things added on, it turns out to be a lot of work and no extra money.
The other problem with this Dean guy, he is 40 lives at home, and this is his first time out of the house.
There was the paint decision. I sat down and suggested some colors that would work with the floors that he chose. He liked them, but most importantly, his Mommy and Daddy liked them. (I did mention that he's 40, and still is being taken care of by mommy and daddy right?)
Once it was go time, and the colors went on the wall, he didn't like them. Mind you, these colors were basically white with twinges of color to them, all of them neutrals. And excuse me, I worked in the Paint department a Homo Depot for almost 4 stinking years. I THINK I know a little bit about color. Well guess what....
He picked out new colors for the two rooms he didn't like. One was a sage green, and the other a very reddish salmon color.
And the winner is.......he didn't like the salmon color....BIG surprise. Well drama, drama, drama, then he picked out another color....grayish tan. They painted one wall, and he walked in, he didn't like it.
Yeah, no...this was a khaki green color, not a grayish tan, this man is color blind. So it's back to the salmon color. OK, so all these changes and work.....no extra money. Hmmmmmm.
Please insert broken hand. That's right. Justin flipped out, cursed Dean out, and punched the plaster covered brick wall in the Salmon colored room, and broke his hand.
This is where I live people. Drama-ville, PA.

what happened now?
dude...that's bad business. Justin needs to make a written contract and make them sign it for the price. If any alternations are to be made then a new addendum is made and the additional cost is written in for the changes.
That's just smart business. If hi sdad is saying "yes" then he needs to be the one taking care of it and Justin needs to tell him that. That too is good business.
Not everyone is fair and reasonable (like me & B) and they will try to take everything they can from you at your expense.
That's really crappy.
Salmon- WTF. Who does that? If you don't like the paint then you can da** well change it yourself and not the contractor !!!
You guys need a better business manager, one who can stand their ground.
Justin was telling Dean no. But when he heard no from Justin, he went to Dad and asked him.
Yes they should have consulted each other, but they didn't.
Dean was even asking me what prices I charged him for cleaning last night. I said, that is for Justin and Tom to handle. I don't put MY foot in my mouth.
