Greetings, dear guests!
To find a real professional - you have to try! This is an indisputable fact. We are surrounded by a lot of handy guys - "universal soldiers" who grab onto everything and do a little bit of everything, that's why there is a substitution of concepts.
No, it's not bad, some are quite satisfied with such masters, but someone is aimed specifically at professional construction or high-quality repairs to be sure of several guarantees decades.
Nowadays, with a high degree of probability, you can run into a "well... hand" would-be specialist with negligible experience, but positioning himself as a "top-level specialist" - then the repair will be much more expensive because of the money wasted on alteration.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine by eye who is in front of us. Rags or an ironed shirt, a "bucket of nuts" or a fresh BMW - these are all different preferences or personal situations, but not criteria for assessing experience and level of professionalism. Each person has his own manner of communication, temperament, emotional responses and values.
Therefore, in order to admit a person to work, it is important to understand "what is professionalism?" And a professional in the field of construction and repair has the following characteristic qualities:
1. Experience
You won't hear "we do as I have always done and everything will be fine."
You will be offered several options for consideration, all the advantages and disadvantages of each are indicated, and you will hear reasoned own opinion as advice from the pros, but not imposing any technology, which is inherent in 99% amateurs.
Therefore, a question to a person should be structured in such a way that there is a problem, what solutions he sees.
The wizard will ask for a project / sketch / drawing and take a break to study. There should not be such "I understood everything". If I understood everything right away, it means "I didn't understand a shit, I will work on a collective farm."
In the process of reading a project, a specialist always has questions to various nodes. A person together with you will analyze and find the best solution - "price-quality". And then, the decision is yours.
Having chosen the technology, the master will select the brand (manufacturer) himself. This does not mean that the master does not work with other firms, it only means that the work will be done cleanly and with a solid guarantee.
2. Price
The cost of the master's work is overstated max. by ~ 10-15% of the market value. If the price is overpriced by more than 30% - in front of you is a person who covers a low level of professionalism with an overpriced. The professional knows what its value depends on. And to the question: "Where does your price come from? " he will gladly provide you with the layout and transparency of all numbers. You will have no doubts.
There will be no such thing, as you can often hear from some: "pay upon the fact of work, when, they say, I will do it." This is a phrase that masks unprofessionalism, when a person cannot estimate the scope of work - therefore, he will estimate only after the fact.
3. Speed
When we are looking for a specialist, we choose from several - one. To the question "How long will your work take?" his answer will make you smile, because he will name half the time than the others. And this means that the speed of its work is 2, or even 3 times higher than the speed of others.
In the work, the conveyor system is traced, everything is put on stream without unnecessary gestures. Therefore, sometimes the customer does not understand why he has to pay 10,000 - 12,000 rubles for one day of the work of the master.
If it was possible to put the work of a professional and a station wagon next to each other, then even at the level of the customer's knowledge, the conclusion could be made immediately. There are only two outcomes for fast work: perfect or well. The pros will do it perfectly at incredible speed and clean up after themselves.
4. Orders
Such people are snapped up. Waiting time from 2 months. To the question "How long will it take to start? ", do not wait for the answer "I will start tomorrow."
5. Control by another person
Usually, people react nervously to criticism from the outside. To the question, "how do you feel about third party quality control? ", a professional will react normally, since he has enough knowledge to argue that he did his job correctly.
The amateur will merge in an hour and stop picking up the phone.
From the author
A professional does not combine 10 specialties, even though he knows how to do everything. For example, a professional tiler will refuse to partially alter the water supply or sewage system, and the bricklayer will not will undertake to fill the foundation or a monolithic floor, because he will make money on what he knows best make.
For the most part, a professional is a "lone wolf". He works alone and connects assistants where it is not possible to do the work on his own, which he will warn you about in advance, since in large teams there is low productivity. Such teams do not provide a high pace.
A professional is always ready to show his completed projects and, at the same time, he will be able to tell in detail about the features that arose during the execution of these works. This means that the photo is not "stolen" from the Internet, which you can always check by asking him to send you several photos and perform a "photo search" in Google pictures.
Perhaps that's all!
