As a lot of you may or not know i do a lot of contracting work- painting, drywall, flooring, etc
I get a call yesterday from Mr Patel who asks if i can over to look at his ceilings that are water stained from an old roof leak that has been since fixed. ( a few rooms)
After looking at his ceilings i give him a quote which was for "up to 2 coats of prime and 1 coat of flat finish" on each ceiling. Normally for small stains 1 coat of primer will work but in the event it doesn't ill apply a second coat
He asks me "what does that mean up to 2 coats of primer"
I explain to him that my price includes applying "up to" 2 coats of primer but may not need 2 depending on how the primer takes as sometimes 1 coat works sometimes it doesn't
He says he will only pay for 1 coat of primer and pay for a 2nd if only i need to apply a 2nd coat of primer
We left it that he should call someone else-good bye
