Three Choices That Define a Contractor's Integrity.

When a contractor makes a mistake on site, they have three options: hide it, admit it, or fix it. Hiding mistakes not only jeopardizes the quality of the project but also risks safety, trust, and long-term success. It's a shortcut that damages reputations and costs everyone involved. Admitting mistakes, while necessary, should be seen as the absolute minimum standard - it's an acknowledgment of responsibility but not a solution. What truly separates good contractors from great ones is the commitment to fixing their mistakes. Correcting errors, regardless of the cost or effort, demonstrates integrity and professionalism, turning challenges into opportunities to build lasting client relationships.

When mistakes happen on site, a contractor has three choices: hide it, admit it, or fix it. The path they choose not only reflects their integrity but also determines whether they remain just good or rise to greatness.
