Where do you get the winterization stickers?

Winterization stickers, MFS supply

If your new to the business dont expect to be paid for 30 to 90 days.(maybe).
Meanwhile there are materials that have to be bought and your vendors want to be paid the day work is completed. Good Luck.

[quote=Tyler Drew]US Best Repairs, the company I co-own, has a policy of paying contractors within 14 days of their invoice.

The reason for this is twofold. First, that we came up from a single-man field service, and understand the way it feels to not be paid for a lock change or a lawn cut in the dead of summer.

Second, most importantly, the shear quality of work improves across the board. We have been ridiculed by other national companies for our policies, but they seem to work for us. If we have invoices cut by our clients, then clearly it is a problem with our office. Either we did not train you properly or we didnt explain what photos were needed. Either way, not your problem. That is, unless you repeat the error again. [/quote]


Doesn't always work that way. You folks issued a work order to me and i did what you asked but was never paid. This was the last i ever heard from your company. Ck this info out from 3/10/09 Field-Comm.net Order #44800 65 CENTERVILLE ROAD Townsend, MT 59644

I wish these stickers were not used. I do initial services Fannie Mae properties. These stickers are a royal pain in the rear to remove!! I made up my own winterization notices and use clear packaging tape to tape down toilet lids and use it across the sinks with the label attached under the tape.

Another question i have never had answered, Why does everyone put the toilet lid under the seat and then tape it down? I have always just taped the lid down and left the tank lid where it belongs and have never had any issues with 5 different nationals. With Fannie Mae we are required to use a winterization wrap. Also i wish people would clean the toilets out before a wint! Takes less than a minute to quick brush out out and flush it with a bit of water from the water heater......

to mike in southern ohio try safeguard sounds like good compant do get work from and learn what it takes if you can get safe guard to pay you will do fine

I am having a hard time also finding good companies to work with some of them do not know the business.

I cover six counties surrounding Dallas TX. Collin, Dallas, Denton, Denton Ellis, Rockwall and Tarrant.

I too have been rip off, form some of the same companies mention. I think it's a lack of supervision in the company.

[quote=real agent]Learn how to file liens at county courthouse. Your invoices will get paid by or at closing. Seen this done dozens of times by local vendors. Good Luck! [/quote]

Absolutely! And do it promptly, because you want the Lien on the property prior to closing.

BTW, I'd be diligent about keeping correct records, also.

Now go file those Liens!

I think its far time that we as contractors hold the big companies accountable. They hold us accountable in the initial screening process, with background checks, Liabilty Ins, etc. So why not hold them accountable to us.
