Be prepared to be the least important client any of your subs work for. If you got time, and patience, and persistence on your side...maybe.
I didn’t have this issue at all. If you pick shitty subs, then yes. I shopped by word of mouth and quality. ETA: you may have this issue if you wait until a Monday to call them out for a Tuesday, they’ll tell you to pound sand. I stayed in touch with each sub months and weeks and days in advance to be sure we were on the same page always. Communication is key.
The only one I went cheap on was my trim guy who I had to fire and the new guy ended up working out an hourly rate with me to finish everything and it came out to what I would have paid in the first place.
It’s not some big scary monster if you take your time and know what you’re looking at.
