Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments!!

I stopped logging my time/hours a while back. I now follow the 'it's done when it's done' rule...some get done sooner, some later! LOL

When you churn out that kind of quality, you are allowed to do that.

Back in my restoration days that is pretty much how I did it too. I did track hours because that's how I got paid, but there were no binding estimates... Time + Materials all the way. That is really the only fair way to price out near-perfection.

What many people don't understand is that last 10% of the work when striving for perfection takes as much time as the first 90%. I don't know the exact ratio, this is only an analogy, but the point is that those final details are extremely time consuming. The rule of diminishing returns applies, yet time spent chasing those diminishing returns is necessary when the utmost quality is the primary objective.

Great post. Getting a customer to understand your 90/10 ratio is key. If the customer doesn’t care, doesn’t have the eye for the details, or doesn’t want to pay. Then they will not make a good customer.

Scott’s continued repeat and referrals tell me Scott’s guests get it, but most important I have a feeling they trust Scott and know it will be done right.
