Apparently there’s been an uptick in construction companies doing mark-ups on their work so that when they offer a discount it looks like they’re giving you a good deal. One company is warning its customers how to spot such tricksters so that they don’t get conned into paying a mediocre price for any work.
As one of the largest paving stone installation firms in Southern California, Pacific Pavingstone Inc of Sun Valley knows a thing or two about staying ahead of the competition. Competing companies rely on different marketing strategies in an effort to win customers, but one that Pacific Pavingstone strongly opposes is marking up a job in order to claim that they are offering a discount. It has become a common practice in numerous industries, not just the paving stone installation sector. In fact, it’s almost an accepted “fair business practice” to mark up a paving stone pool deck, patio or driveway bid to appear to give a large, but completely artificial discount. In Pacific Pavingstone’s eyes this is anything but fair. The company regards it as downright deceitful. If Pacific Pavingstone offers a discount, it really is a discount. Upholding honest business values is testament not only to the individuals who manage and work in the company, but to their product. In less than a decade, Pacific Pavingstone rose to the number three position in its market, with thousands of paving stone driveways, walkways, pool decks and patios installed.
