Hi all hope you are all good. So I am my third month in business and work is really picking up quicker than what I can handle, for instance one street alone went from 2 customers every four weeks to 22 straight away and managed to get around 50 new customers last week. I have had a boy working with me to help me out as one or two houses are massive and leaded windows he needs to foot the ladder for me otherwise I can't do it alone. Here's the dilemma I found myself totally stressed about today and still am. I done less work with the two of us than I would usually manage on my own due to his sloppiness and having to constantly redo his windows. Speed wasn't up to scratch either as I was up the ladder doing upstairs I done all my windows by the time he finished a front. When he was up the ladder on his turn then as I thought screw it I'm paying him to do the ladder work and I am doing it all day myself instead but when he was up the ladder I was hanging about because by the time I finished downstairs around the whole house he was still on his first windows and the quality was terrible such as smears everywhere and frames and sills still green. I kept on all day and felt like I was talking to myself. I earned a lot less money with him than I would on my own and lost a few customers now because I couldn't get around to them. I'm totally stressed as now due to this my bills are due and was relying on that money today. Would anyone here give him another chance because this was the first time he done windows or think screw it. I need someone with me here and there but I want someone who takes pride in what they do and are quick. I haven't had a complaint in years and when I do its rare but I want high quality work as I would expect on my own home even though I am fussy anyway but getting someone to meet my standards is hard as you all probably know for yourselves.
