scheduling lvp jobs with core77 saw blades is killing me at $85 a pop

had a whole week lined up installing shaw lvp in three kitchens, but the client in the middle rescheduled twice because their dog ate the subfloor or some crap. ended up burning $425 on new core77 saw blades just sitting idle while i waited. anyone got a better way to lock in these flaky homeowners?

build a 25% buffer into your quotes for reschedules, covers the blade costs easy.

yeah, and use jobber to send automated reminders two days before. cut my no-shows in half.

man i feel that, lost a full day last month to a similar mess.

same here, these homeowners act like time's free for us but not them.

don't quote without a 50% deposit on material-heavy jobs like lvp.

frustrating as hell when blades dull out on oak transitions mid-job.

sucks, i always have backups ready now after one too many waits.

how do you even enforce reschedule policies without scaring them off?

screw these clients, they treat us like uber drivers.

i tell em straight, reschedule costs me $200 in lost time.

lost $300 on a flooring gig last week, same story.

use route4me for scheduling, it optimizes around potential no-shows.

these homeowners think we're magicians with infinite blades.

sigh, burned two Diablo blades on a rushed job yesterday.

we're all getting screwed by this scheduling bs.

put a hold on the job until they commit for real.

i feel your pain, reschedules are the worst part of quoting.

same, especially with pricey lvp installs.

how much notice do you give for your own changes?

big corps are buying up flooring leads, leaving us scraps.

yep, angi and thumbtack are ruining independent guys.

frustrated with clients who cancel last minute on tile jobs too.

charge a $150 reschedule fee, period.

these platforms take our money and give us headaches.

homeowners union against tradesmen, smh.

i'm done with free reschedules, starting next week.

sharkbites for plumbing but for scheduling? nah, contracts only.

i get it, blades ain't cheap and time is money.

don't warn, just implement the fee and watch compliance rise.

lost a whole van load of lvt to a no-show once.

how do you handle it when it's a repeat client?

use connecteam app, it tracks everything and bills extras.

we're getting hosed by this gig economy mindset.

yep, clients expect free everything.

laughed when a guy rescheduled because his yoga class ran long.

block the slot and charge half day rate.

same frustration here with carpet jobs piling up.

i feel ya, it's exhausting chasing these ghosts.

politely but firmly, no reschedules without fee.

homeowners don't get how blade costs add up fast.

sue em in small claims if it's bad enough.

echoing the deposit idea, saved my ass twice.

proud i finally set boundaries, business boomed.

tired of eating these costs on every quote.

don't ever work without a solid contract.

big box stores undercutting us on lvp pricing too.

these clients are the real gouge in the floor.

i went from chaos to calm with service fusion scheduling.
