- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- My company got hired on to do a pool deck at the neighbors house. This homeowner came up to me and asked for help. He showed me what the other contractor left and walked off the site.
There were lots of things that were left unfinished. For example the BBQ, steps and lights. All in total $30k in unfinished work. We fixed his driveway and he is thrilled he can drive his car to his garage.

The feeling when you make a customer happy
They can’t all be made to feel that way.
I can't believe that contractor didn't come back out to fix his own screw up. These bad contractors needs to be exposed and prevent them from screwing over other customers.
That sounds like most contractors though
@@rubenllamas5644 That's a bias statement.
It like paying a stripper NOT to take her clothes off.
Makes ZERO sense.
@@reedrk88t who?
Mexican power
Orale.. arre lulu
White guy making all the money 😂
@@thuglivintv824 does he not pay his employees?
@@thuglivintv824 because he’s a business executive. Providing work for others with his high level of skill execution and experience lol.
What a naive comment
@@azr6917 right? What people who criticize the bosses don’t realize is that if something fucks up, it’s his fault. If an employee fucks up the homeowner isn’t gonna sue the worker they’ll sue the boss.
If you make a mistake you should fix it or refund the customer partially or fully. People should know you stand by your work. Glad you showed up to fix this. Great video! Good work.
Agree
Yo "T", just a suggestion, next time you do this, bring some empty palets, and you put the pavers on palets. Then it's easy to take them out to the street with the skeed steer. And install them again.
Bump
The guy didn't really know what he was doing!! he was outside of his ability. That's the first thing I noticed was the excessive handling of his material. Didn't care for this guy at all!!!
Great Job, I miss these type of videos you would make...keep making them
Got plenty more coming.
@@TigranGertz honestly what this guy said x100
Love this guy! The best takeaway!
“I don’t even do lawn care, but I go to see if there’s any opportunity for me to make money”
The smartest thing ever!
Yo, T! You awesome! I'm stonemason from Vladivostok, Russia. Thank you so much for your videos! I hope, one day, I will be great for goat gang team. So many problems now and maybe you know what happened in our country and Ukraine... It's make me upset. But your videos give me so much passion to work and make that business better.
Who ever pulled out and pulled in with that tractor in the trailer is a god at driving shit is like 1 inch apart 🤣💯
3:35 "Look at it... It just pisses me off, you know?"
I'm pissed for you as well, good sir. Just looking at it makes anyone embarrassed who's even slightly professional at whatever they do and want to do good work.
I’m glad you recognize the Mexican power. It is the hard work of so many such people from the south of our borders help us live an affordable and comfortable lives here. So please let your leaders know you care about them and stop the “leaders” from berating them. Also, make sure these hard working folks get paid well and don’t hesitate to share your spoils/profits.
Will do, they are amazing workers
Yes legal citizens not illegal. Hiring illegal citizens is bad on the contractor hiring them, instead of a legal citizen. Im sure they send most of their earned money back to wherever they're from instead of boosting the local AMERICAN Aeconomy.
@@slippy11ful As much as people praise illegal immigrants for the work they do.. it's a massive barrier for automation to become cost effective that would be creating jobs American's would actually do. Even if the company was busted for illegally hiring them there is zero true financial risk as the fines range from $250 - $5000 per. Hence, the lack of actual diversity in this field having defacto racist hiring policies "preferring" prospects capable of speaking Spanish. Which the later should be outright illegal when the necessity of knowing it is to be capable of speaking to your coworkers.
It’s not really Mexican power as much as it is they have no education or want to educate themselves to make a higher wage. In some people’s opinion the Chinese and other Asians who built the railroads back in the day would work 16 hr days 7 days a week couldn’t be beaten, now they prefer to hit the books and get tech jobs-screw that manual labor
No doubt. I have too many experiences of Mexican vs Us workers than i can share without my fingers cramping up.
Best believe I’m going to sign up for #GOATGANG, That truck would take my business to the next level!!!
That truck would be a life changer for my family
Tigran’s Videos always fun to watch, always something different ‼️
Keep em coming 🐐
I liked the video the second he started laughing while unloading off the trailer 😂
Just bought a house and I want pavers but these types of mistakes are what I’m dreading….too bad you’re not in Chicago.
i’m in chicago, and I build patios
I used to be 7 years ago
@@TigranGertz imagine if you get big enough to the point where you can expand in different cities
Mexican power, baby!!!
Greetings from Conroe, Texas.
Whats up neighbor. Houston here
I am a contractor custom finish carpenter/cabinet maker ! However I enjoy watching other contractors and their struggles Kings Tables Custom Finish Carpentry! Go Goat King!
thank you!
The crew you have is extremely well worth paying a min of 25 hrs. They work well and work fast, good choice.
agreed
@@TigranGertz I just noticed the Skidsteer you're giving away........smh you don't know how badly I could use that.....
@@reedrk88t couldn't we all
They need an energy drink called Mexican Power 😂
Haha
Good Job and this first home owner to be on the channel and he`s very good i wish you can feature some home owners as well, this one he`s APPROVED
The neighbor is cool too. He will be in the video too
That’s some good Mexican power! Lol
Laziest worker award goes to the guy in black
A skilled operator would save you so much… but you guys did a killer job screeding the grade looks tuff as hell nice job!
thank you!
Holy shit, west coast people just throw money at people to fix the easiest shit. I could of got me and one of my buddies out there and had that fixed in 2 days...
Easy money
3Z money
Insurance covered :) plus a law suit?
Ya then this guy would have to come in after you to actually fix it
@@allysonand lol
Love these folks, "I'll do it for you for half the price and a 6 pack!"
son, go home
word of mouth is so powerful you do 1 good deed and you'll gain 10 mores jobs lol
I hope so hahq
I love the way you completed this project. I had same issue with one subcontractor that he fucked up and i took my regular teamvto complete the rest of the project. Great job and amazing customer service. Am from Canada and hope i can win the Truck since am a contractor as yourself. Looking forward to more amazing projects.
You gotta join goat gang! We already gave away the truck, but we are giving away a loader in December, join goat gang!

Who taught this guy to drive an excavator? 😂😂
A hustler that gets the job done. More contractors need to put emphasis on work and get the job done. Today contractors (not all, but many) they show up late, leave early, workers do not show up for contractor, poor workmanship, crap up the work site and leave it for homeowner to clean up their mess, pad bills with extras, extend jobs out for months, collect half the money and never show and so on. I guess this is why the solid contractors are always booked for up to year in advance. People will wait to have a good job done. And price usually not an issue as long as it in reason.
Agreed
You ever think about investing in a tilt deck flatbed trailer? Awesome for carrying machinery and they're easier and more secure to tie down then a dump trailer. Just my opinion, love the content!
Yes soon I will
You better get your $ up front! I've seen it before if he didn't pay him he will find something wrong with yours too!!
I got paid don't worry
I don’t no if he is telling the truth I never seen no string lines across just saw pipe to grade but string line ?
Love how he works with his employees
thank you!
That feeling when u lose a Gnote every year 😂
Good job 👏 T is the 🤴 🐐 of the hardscaping 🏡!
My man 👌🏼👌🏼
20 grand? Wow nice. And here I am putting water in my shampoo bottles so they last longer..

We have had this kind of bad experience with contractors. They mess up or cannot do the job properly and then they disappear, after they take the money. It is illegal and they can easily get arrested. You have to check their references. The more references the better. It is difficult. if you cannot have friends to help you then you are stuck. Fortunately you were around when this poor guy got screwed and you were able to help him. Your Mexican workers looked like they really sweated it out there. Those people work hard. I commend them for their endurance.
Thank you for the kind words man
@@TigranGertz you are welcome. Take care
Polymeric sand is not like concrete, it turns into a sticky rubber material. It take a little bit of extra work not much but Can be scraped off.
When money ain’t shit to the customers 🤣
You crew are very professional 👏,, nice and good jobs,, 100%
Thanks Jose
Crazy how doing some quality hard work makes a huge difference. Nice job guys
thank you!
Nice of you to show the breakdown / itemized totals.
Thank you
Your the man! Looking under the weather in this video. If I didn't know better I would of said you were high in the 1st clips on that street haha! I can't believe I haven't checked out goat gang yet!!! Hahaha just so slammed. I should of bid my work higher. I haven't even quoted since April. Maxed the schedule out in April and haven't looked back. We are just turning our leads on now for some fill in + next year!
How many people you have working
Wow!! Very nice job!! The more important thing is that you are very honest, and that is why you have alot of work!! God bless you!! Mas trabajoo for you!!👍👍
Thank you very much!
Dude you are really pushing the limits of your truck towing that trailer with the cat 304e
It works
You do excellent work, a young man with a great attitude. Thats the very recipe for success.
Thank you!
That looks so much better great work and I hope the customer got his money back from they last contractor
Thank you!
I learned you always drive up into the trailer and when you take it off you back up. The way you did it is dangerous. Just saw ur channel and now I’m suscribed to it.
thanks for subscribing
11:36 sweet success
That drive ways in a tough spot, not much you can do, hopefully he never wants to park a boat in that driveway.
haha
How could y’all tell when the hump was completely out and level did y’all use a transit ?
haha
That music is very stimulating
Haha, I agree
Im looking at vermeer 925 vs a bigger bobcat. Any recommendations?
8K to do all of that. I wonder how much is he paying his workers. This is why I dislike living in an inclined house.
Wow, this light green trailer is an extremely awesome piece of equipment.
Thank you!
Customer sounds like john cena
Instantly my new favorite RUclips channel
In Canada we go down 18 inches minimum for a driveway but you did a great job getting the hump out. Also kudos for testing it with your truck, thats not something you see anyone really doing deliberately.
Thank you!
Where from Canada? I'm from Quebec , montreal
Those are some cheap labor rates. I was crunching your numbers. I've been doing contracting for almost 40 years in New England. You can't find labor that cheap in New England.
how cheap do you find labor in new england
This is why I could never hire a contractor.
Just gotta find the right one
do u use the ditch witch very often, im thinking about buying a walk behind machine
All the time
I know u said ditch witch service sucks, I'm a Kubota/bobcat guy. I'm probably going to get an mt100, I also like how u have the dump pull the trailor, that set up is nice. I'm a concrete guy so I could fit that mt100 and all my tools in it
Damn first time I see your video it’s dope I like 👍🏽 your swagg Mexican power lol viva la Raza
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is why you have attorneys for and contacts .
Yup
" fingers crossed" and then you start flipping off? that speaks so much about your character. all you care is money but disregard compassion.
I mean it really doesn't lol
@@TigranGertz ok dude. it seems like you are a good man, I apologize. lol can yu fix my yard?
FYI, you can’t get an exhaust for your truck cause you would need to chop the DPF to sound better, and if you were to get one, it’s DPF Back, just
Piping, no sound difference, I made a mistake and got a DPF back exhaust, it did nothing, and California wouldn’t like you deleting your truck
Your balling bad ass workaholic type of dude I wish I could find a video explaining how to do pavers on the big a Difficult scale I’m a tree service but I’m trying to move into landscaping because ain’t nobody having landscaping done that’s poor and I need to get ahead in life lol
Look through my channel, I have a video that explains how to do pavers
My dad taught me how to paver , and I only did and 3x6 patch of dirt in the backyard and I was exhausted good work 🔥🔥
It’s a lot of work
Nice truck and yeah a nice cat back exhaust or even just flowmasters would help it breathe
I do have to admit tho, he is freaking rough on his stuff, I’ve unloaded a wheeled skid loader out of a dump trailer like that one and didn’t even have to use the bucket to stabilize myself, and wheeled machines are always less stable than tracked machines, that 10 seconds longer you take could save you 30 minutes replacing a piece in the street or a hoes in a attachment that got kinked.
I shall be more careful
Well geez, some people know thier equipment better than those who DON'T operate it for a living.
@@TigranGertz they're built to be beat. Apparently some are an anextreme level of "expert operator" compared to those of us who actually operate.
ohsha- driver is not wearing a seatbelt, ticket.
Great job 👏.
I have a question about the capacity of your pickup truck , how many tons are you aloud to pull . Here in Europe you pull maximum of 3,5 tons including trailer .
Thanks
7 tons for green trailer
What do you usually charge per sq ft. for pavers. I just locked into your channel and so far I like what I see. Great way to show the right and wrong
I charge $80 per square foot
@@TigranGertz omg , are you sure? that's a lot . that means $800/m2
here in Australia the maximum price can be up to max of Australian dollar $250/m2
House next door is a dump compared to This one !
Haha
It blows my mind when people use a $60k skidsteers as a wheelbarrow.
It blows my mind when a person has a 60k skid steer and instead uses a wheelbarrow.
@@Teporame If only there was a machine that would allow one person to scrape, scoop and carry soil and material all while sitting down.
Well it blows my min when people don't
New term "second money." An unexpected unsolicited deal that comes out of a prior solicited deal and is on the way to or from the original deal.
Usaid was 20k dollar job now is 12k? Did something changed? 7650 worth of labor? I only saw 5 guys is that counting taxes and worker comp?
Sometimes homeowners will make new requests
Great. Video, never turn work away ,it pays
Thank you!
We Appreciate You
The only way you take that truck home is if you can afford the taxes!
A 19 year old kid took it home
@@TigranGertz happy he could afford the taxes! Or mommy and daddy.If you are Implying that the winner doesn't have to pay the taxes then your full of $hit.or your kind enough and willing to be a little shady. Which if you are that's cool. However nothing is free in this country! Uncle sam/ the IRS always wants their cut! Wasn't being negative I'm happy you are able to do giveaways or raffle/ lotto. I was just informing people that taxes will have to be paid if it's all legal like. I see so many people win a valuable prize and not be able to afford the taxes.
The original contractor has not been paid, that is a very big red flag. I agree with the original contractor he must be paid in full before he does any warranty work.
well I got paid so it's ok haha
Can You Please Tell Me Where You Bought You Heatcap ???
Brand and Model ???

Hai...new suscriber here....nice work.....
Good job man! Nice work😎👍
Awesome 😎 love it!
Think of the foundations on that hill with water pushing on the sides
Good thinking
You need to compact that.
I dont see your guys using compacters.
WE do compact it
i once done a job for a rear fence on an area like this, the front drive was too steep so we had to go in through the back. the carpenter i was working with had a v8 ute, with hard wood and concrete mix bags in the ute, and a trailer full of hardwood (black butt). the ute struggled to even get to the spot, we then had to manually hike all of the timber and cement bags down a shrubby drop off about 20 - 30 metres long. it took 2 days just to get the materials on to the site. worst job to date. our legs were dead for about a week. and we both train muay thai lol
I'm glad you made it through that bad job my boi!
What if the car is Full....?
Needed to take out whole thing and redo with curb. Still to steep
The customer was happy
Your guys did a great job
Good job lil johny
What kind if shade hat are you wearing?
20 rack to fix that job damn that's a come up
Yup
This happen when costumer looking for cheap price call and call for the low price
Yup
Nice recovery !
Thanks!
