Re: Unprofessionals Seeking Unprofesionals to hurt


Why do you find it necessary to keep 40%? Is it your overhead or is it greed? When I get a contract I pay my subs 80% minus 10% retain age. They do not cost you anything and they get the retainage back when I get mine from the MSO or the Prime.

I pay my contractors 60% and take 40 but my prices have been cut as well as many others repeatedly. If they wont pay us how can we pay you we too have bills to pay. But I always make sure my techs get theyr's before I get mine.
