Need a plumber at midnight for daytime rates?

=> Help make the world a better place.... help change this industry to help themselves by changing!

Here's the idea... I know a number of plumbers, and right now most are out there crying the blues that business is SO depressed. On the other hand, I think there's a real need for someone to service all of us who have to take off from work to meet with any plumber during the working day. But although so many claim to do work anytime, after-hour rates ALWAYS apply... which means the difference of upwards of 2-3X the already high rates?

"Most" businesses have become so 'comfortable' with their "lifestyle", that frankly, they'll never be able to change. They've lost the spirit of saying 'whatever it takes'.... incidentally, they are the same companies that typically do not have working business plans - the strategic roadmaps of contingencies, but rather respond based on rote and routine. If if isn't broken, don't try and fix it.... but what if it is broken?

++++++++++++++++++++++

After-Hours Plumber?

I think there is a big need for plumbing services that work EXCLUSIVELY after hours and charge daytime rates..... I'm actually doing some market research to determine if there really is a need for plumbing services as well as other in-the-home services that force all of us to miss work for critical services.

=> QUESTION: If you had a choice, what times would be acceptable as well as unacceptable, times for services (i.e. when would it be good for you?)

Please respond to give some evidence to this need or not?

Usually, when I have a need for a plumber, it is urgent..

In addition, I doubt whetehr I'd like a plumber or anybody banging around the house at midnight..If any banging needs to be done at that time of the night, I WANT TO BE THE ONE DOING IT!

By Vivo Bonito• 13 Jan 2009 14:01

Oh! wonderin to the kind of bustings this plumber would need to fix at night?
