Short excerpt from a YouTube video where Mike Andes recounts a negative online review received after performing landscaping work during a Hurricane Harvey relief effort. He explains that the general contractor supplied poor-quality or old materials (soil and sod), that the team warned the client about conditions in advance, and uses the example to state why they dislike being subcontractors.
You know, I didn't want to do this. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, I need someone else to come by and do my yard besides the guy that has been coming here.
This customer left a negative online review because they said we did a bad job. However, we were actually given all the materials by the general contractor. And this was part of a relief effort fund for Hurricane Harvey. We warned the client prior about the soil and sod condition as it was given to us. This is a big reason why we don't like to be subcontractors, especially to builders that give us materials that they've purchased, and a lot of times it's old or low quality.
