After accuracy is locked in, you can focus on speed.
A garage door is the kind of feature nobody notices…until it leaks.
In an instance many years ago, our team hired a subcontractor to install an exterior piece of single-family homes in numerous communities. From the outside, everything looked fine. But over time, water was slowly seeping in, causing damage that no one could see without deconstruction.
When the company investigated, the same issue had been repeated across a majority of the homes one of our many subcontractors worked on. Fixing it became a full-scale operation that included contacting every homeowner directly, followed by replacements and a years-long ordeal.
The price was substantial financially and in terms of trust and time. All of this could have been avoided if we had a simple “trust but verify” process. And it’s stories like this that illustrate why I now always say, “Accuracy first, speed second.”
