Bad Contractors
Description
What do you do when a contractor goes rogue?
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m sharing a real story from one of our Growth Q&A calls, where a new contractor undercut a designer’s pricing, bypassed communication boundaries, and caused major headaches on the job. It’s a cautionary tale, and I’m walking you through exactly how to prevent it from happening to you.
You’ll learn how to set expectations upfront, stay in control of your projects, and protect your income and reputation—even when a “bad contractor” tries to take over.
In this episode, I cover:
- The red flags to watch for when working with new GCs or subs
- How to hold your ground and finish the project without drama
- Why setting expectations before the job starts protects everyone
- What to include in a contractor “statement of work”
- How to regain control and protect your reputation
