bobkezel: This is True.. but it's pure wickedness on the part of the Artisans. I don't think buying your materials is the solution, Be sure of their availability before contracting them. If possible make a written contract agreement & specify penalties for absconding with your money or unnecessarily delaying the job. |

EgunMogaji2: . . . it's funny how time flies. I remember the boldened like it was yesterday. We've really lost alot of good people to the hands of competition who careless about integrity and the boundless opportunities that arise from good referal. See how person dey one corner dey wait for babaEgun referal in order to patronize our able gbadexy (even with his good name) It's funny how as a service provider you find it easy to spew words around with an aggrieved client online knowing fully well that a large chunk of your potential customer traffic this same community on a daily basis. Some of us have had it with a few names on here as well and prefer to bury the matchet, the good ones we praise and refer. Not everyone is bad, not everyone is good, if you're a service provider, please provide service appropriately. 2 Likes |

inze:This was the reason I did a DIY building from plan to finish, I wanted to derv into the minds of Suppliers, builders, designers etc, waht I found was this, 2many variable in the building trade and not enough constants' seriously do not know how Engineers and contractors could give and estimate for a job they are going to do in two weeks, cos prices changes daily. If I was not doing all by myself I would have thought someone ate my money. My advice is please guys lets cut some slacks for builders and Engineers in the house. Sometimes the sublet the jobs to a worker and the worker do not give a damn about reputation and does a shoddy job, I have one as we speak, ordinary window dressing he made a big messs and wasted 3 bags of cement. 3 Likes |

erico2k2: You will live long sir.. This one of the major reason why I have to stay put on any project.. either small or big. Some of our workers don't care... And if you don't know how to manage them you will sure bee at the recieving end.. But bottom line if you are not comfortable with a job you better opt out asap! I remembered I referred oga rotech for a tiling Job abeokuta he opted out when he find out the condition won't work for him .. 1 Like 1 Share |

I have a NairaLander in diaspora that wants to buy a plot from me. We’ve been at it now for a while. He’s very apprehensive and I completely understand him.

gbadexy: @gbadexy Thanks for recommending painters that can do a good job. Do you have a website? Just saying because I initially wanted to buy from President Paints. I conducted extensive searched online (Google not Nairaland) and their name came up. It helped that they had a solid online presence and a very active WhatsApp customer care line. But the only issue was that they didn't have an office in Abuja and I would have to bear the cost of shipping the paints to Abuja. My second reason for choosing the current paint is that I wanted a premium paint. My third reason is that I wanted exotic colors, very deep reds and very black black if there is such a thing. I would like you to make it very clear, are you a budget paint manufacturer or a premium paint manufacturer? We know that due to the mix for premium paints they last longer and look better, that must come at a cost. The next question is how many years one can expect from the paint before needing repainting? Please provide this information here and also on your website. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. I have not forgotten our earlier interaction, but I had already gone far with the current project to onboard you at this stage. Sorry for the late response, life happened. Additional Notes: From my research, why I make a big issue of premium paints can be summarized below: 1. Better quality pigments 2. Finer pigment particles 3. More coverage per liter with less work 4. Fewer coats to get your desired color 5. Longer lasting (up to twice as long) 6. Contains thickening additives meaning a more even coat 7. Can hide wall imperfections better due to a higher concentration of resin and a smaller concentration of VOC 8. More more spent on premium quality paints means more more spent on higher quality pigments, resins and solvents = better adhesion, better hiding capacity, spatter resistance, flow and leveling, touch-up capability, stain/scrub resistance, fade resistance 9. Reduced toxicity What they don't tell you is that if you use a premium paint, you should also use premium paint brushes and rollers. The kind of brushes you can find at the likes of Shoprite and The Game. All told, I think you get value paying more for higher quality paint. There may be some repeats in the listed points, I hope I can be excused for the same. 1 Like |
