Not to be to blut, but each of us has worked long and hard to get where we are with our contractors so to give someone advice on the hardest part of the job would put all of use out of business. Try and try again. |

most builders, in my experience, only care about the bottom line. you gotta make it affordable for them without cutting ur prices. you cut throat you wont make it. and that contractor dont wanna spend one extra dime on insulation. i personaly have spent many a night researching this very question till 3 or 4 in the morning. and paid for it at work the next day. many a night i have busted my tail and am still workin on it so, like that other dude said, i cant help you cept to say that there are solutions out there. this foam game aint ez. |

early to bed.. early to rise... work like hell... & advertise... educate.. dont make wild claims... dont point fingers... dont talk crap about the competition.. (facts,,just the facts jack...) do the best job you can do... everytime... do "more than you were paid for" or at least give them the impression you are.. understand the building sciences... apply foam with that understanding,,, do not compromise,,,ever.. know the other subs,,, get along in the sandbox.... be a member of local and professional groups... this is hot hellin work,,,it is not fun.,,, it is not glamorus,, you can make a decent return on your investment and time if you work hard and run a tight ship...like any other "real business" entity if you count the hours,,,work for someone else.. if you count your blessings,,,foam good.. |
