Seeing a shift towards faster installs at the cost of craft
I've been a glazier for about twelve years now, and something's changing on the job site. More and more, the big bosses want everything done quick, even on complex jobs like storefronts or big windows. Last month, we had a rush order for a office building, and they told us to skip the final sealant cure time. Now, we're going back because the glass is fogging up between the panes. It's not just my crew, I talk to guys at the supply house and they say the same thing. This puts a lot of strain on us because we know a bad install can lead to bigger problems down the road. Makes you question if saving a day is worth the headache later. How are other shops handling this push for speed?
