GETTING THE PAYMENT!!!!

I get a credit card number for every job unless I have a credit ap or unless they are government or a bank.

I don't process the credit card till after 30 days but even companies mail a cheque fast when one of their employees has had to give a personal card number to book.  This way you have someone on the inside harassing accounting or the owner to get a cheque out.

In a perfect world we'd all get paid at the end of every job. Unfortunately this world is far from perfect.

Most customers who want you to continue doing work for them will pay you within 30 days. If they don't, the next time they call, you tell them you want payment up front or immediately after the job is done.

If he told me he wasn't happy with the job I would have redone it and chances are with the amount of dirt and mud you are describing

I woulda post bonneted

then if he refused to pay I would dump my waste tank in the lobby after a cat urine job

Willy, you are mean. Good plan

A very good idea
