Exactly. Would you go in to any store that had dry rot and pealing paint
on the building, and a sign made with translucent plastic and electrical
tape letters? If you're that brave, would you stay if the people working
there looked like they hadn't changed their clothes yet this year? And
then you notice their invoices appear to be photocopied crayon drawings?

It's one thing for the guy referred by your brother-in-law's cousin to
do some work under the table doesn't put on a professional facade, but
when someone's full-time business is a jumble of unprofessional looking
crap, it says quite a bit about how much they care about doing a good
job.

Given the choice, would you rather do business with someone who believes
that if you're going to do something, you need to do it right, or
someone who just doesn't care about those details like how they present
themselves or their business?
