13 Things Your Home Remodeler Won't Tell You

I think allowing substitutions is a matter of open collaboration and trust between contractors and clients. I would not trust my last contractor to make substitutions for anything, but others I have worked with included me in their decision making process and some of their decisions were fine.

Nice Article!

I'm a self-employed contractor. I understand the economy is poor right now, so I am trying to stay competitive. When a client calls and attempts to hire me for a price almost equal to just the cost of materials, I can't accept. I need to feed my family. RD, I'm upset that you're essentially encouraging people to hurt people like me. Also, when I substitute materials, I know what I'm going to use really is equal or better. I've used my products for years. The homeowner doesn't know what works.

As a contractor, I have several objections with this story. My primary objection is with number one. As a self-employed contractor, when business is down, I have trouble paying my bills. Those people who are willing to renovate are squeezing me for every last penny, and I find myself working for the cost of materials, with technical labor rates _BELOW MINIMUM WAGE_. I can't live on that. Also, about my substituting products for 'equal or.. value.' I know what products work best; you don't.
