I hired a relative to do my website & logo design....i paid 2-3x what i should have and got a product which was horrible.
i hired one of my contractors to remodel my powder room & laundry room....their workman ship was extremely bad...i did call them back to repair the worst of it, but let 90% of the flaws go...they are a great customer of mine and i couldnt say much....i feel their work was sooooo bad i cant refer them much anymore though...he seemed to do the worst job ive ever seen him do on my house....i figured he was giving me a deal and felt rushed.
now were probably going to remodel our kitchen this year...im considering hiring a complete stranger..ill get a referral from friends...i want to be able to fire this person if i dont like the work....i would have definately fired my relative w/ the website..when i had it redone they laughed at it....this is what my relative does for a living...i think i could have done better.
i have an uncle who is a contractor and i refuse to work with him...i dont want the trouble of dealing w/ relatives.
