I'm down in south Florida and juggling three crews for interior jobs is killing me, just lost $800 on a delayed condo repaint because traffic had the guys stuck for two hours. No software is handling the humidity slowdowns or pop-up rain right, and clients are pissed when we push finishes back a day. Watched a video from Idaho Painter on efficient routing but it doesn't account for our constant storms here.

south florida traffic and these damn pop-up storms are the real enemy, turning every job into a clusterfuck while clients act like we control the weather.

south florida traffic and those damn pop-up storms have screwed me out of $1200 on a single job last month, no software fixes that crap.

try housecall pro for scheduling, it lets you build in 30-minute buffers for rain delays and auto-reschedules the crew to indoor punch list work without screwing your whole day.

man i feel that, same crap with my tile guys getting bogged down in the heat, lost a similar chunk last month.

screw the software, just charge a fat weather delay fee and let clients eat it, works every time in this climate fight me on it.
