  3. Suggestions How do you get rid of unprepared customers?

    I would ask what they need, where is the location of signage going, do they have a logo and then tell them you will do an estimate and email it to them. Im sure the price will ensure they will not be back. If a client is unprepared chances are the job will never be done anyway. Im nice but firm...
  4. How to be an annoying customer....

    I have learned the more "rabid" and the more "anxious" they are to deal with the chances of you doing anything for them is slim. These folks get an over-inflated BS quote to go away. I dont beg and I dont do legwork like I used to

  13. If somebody has not paid for a sign, do we have the right to go take it back?

    It depends on the signage itself. Was it huge? Was it dimensional lettering? How much money we talking here? Small claims court is waste of time. Hiring an attorney is waste of time. We have a disclaimer on our invoices and I will take my sign back and THEN will shame you on social media. I...
  14. Matthews Paint Last Outdoors

    One shot is good for lining the bottom of the trashcan after you throw it in it. Krylon is better than one shot (ok that was a stretch).
  15. Wood Blanks & Paint Options (one shot getting too expensive)

    first off why in the h@ll are you using one shot for anything? Using BEHR exterior paints is better than using one shot especially in FL. I would switch to routed pvc, the cost is less expensive than wood and I would imagine the durability is better. Now take all that one shot and dump it

    I would do what Gino suggested IF you wanted to go a little larger I would make an aluminum frame attach that to facia and then attach signs to that, at least frames would stay permantly BUT to keep it simple Id go back to Ginos suggestion

    matthews down here in AL sucks and most companies do not clearcoat, it will be chalky in 3 years time. If you are going to go thru the trouble of clearcoating you might as well use basecoat paints
