About FenceWeek - weekly email
This weekly email searches main media outlets finding stories that may be of interest to contractors in the fencing and access control industry. It is published by de facto, inc., which also publishes fencebids.
 Question(s) of the Week?
Last week there was a story on a a homeowner having told the contractor where the he wanted the fence. The only problem was he was 20 feet off. The contractor and the customer agreed on a settlement before it got too nasty.
It occurred to me, that this might be a good forum. So... the question of the week is: How do you handle disputes with customers? Do you have a policy in place? What are some examples of customers behaving badly? Email your thoughts, at Gene I will post the answers on the web page.
