You don't fight your customer in a public..What I would have expected is simple sorry to the customer, we would do better next time..Just one line and case is close..The rest of us here will take the battle if the clients continue to malign him...Luckily, he has not been accused of scam; just poor customer care and that is EVIDENT even from his response here...To climb ladder hard o, to fall yakata na ABC...
In his line of biz, you will meet all sort of customer ; the impatience, the not so good, the knuckle head, even outright werey client but you have a responsibility to MANAGE them all, and sometimes when you fail because of your own imperfection, you maintain your CALM and DECORUM and not acting like a tout..
A client bought an item worth 200k only from us last week and returned it after 72 hours that she doesn't like it and ask for a refund! The report got to my desk for approval, and I spoke to the client and she was saying rubbish so I rejected it! Later my boss called me and advice that I should approve, not because the client was right but because we have a NAME to protect and we can afford to refund! We made over 5 billion worth of sales last month and it was our highest figure ever, and we are still celebrating . Why allow this '200k' to spoil our joy? I learnt a valuable lesson that moment..The Yorubas here will remember that popular saying " ONIYANGI MA BA TEMI JE, ASO ALA NI MO WO!!! Do better oga.

Make I talk about one scenario between me and a client, (the client is my friends younger brother) the guy contacted me to install an inverter set up which i did and everything went smoothly, On the long run, the inverter started a short circuit issue, All this while we still had about 5 months on the warranty, while troubleshooting I had to unscrew the inverter to check the board and also the circuit breaker that was inbuilt in the inverter, unfortunately nothing was wrong inside it. This guy had accused me of buying him an inferior product and there was nothing he didn't say, ofcourse not to me directly and some he stylishly say to me, I had to ignore all of this and sum up to take the inverter to the Indian factory but due to the warranty label has been tampered with, I had to pay for the repair with my own money, it was fixed and tested at the factory, taking it back to the client't house, it worked for a couple of days and the same occurred again. Took it back and due to the customerary friendship I had with the company, they replaced the inverter and then I made up my mind that I'm not going back to that factory to complain what so ever again, I took the inverter back to the clients house, went into the DB, and also into his manhole on the roof to crosscheck and I found this huge mistake that could have been a disaster to the whole house, It happened that the client had something to wire and he contacted his electrician and somehow the electrician made a mistake and mess up the neutral that came all the way into the house and that makes the inverter to short circuit and break down, he didn't mention this to me all this while even when I asked if someone came to do any electrical work for him. At the end, he begged and pleaded to me. Ofcourse he paid me for all the stress I had gone through. At some point I couldn't sleep, he would message me late night how he was dissapointed in me, how I am happy sleeping and he is in the dark with no lights. my wife would ask what was going on and why so so person kept calling me, I had to shake it off with her, I just shook all this off. I was glad when I finally troubleshooted the problem and it was all sorted out. It's been a while and he has giving me different projects.. In summary, as long as you be handy man, You go meet different people and you go collect some kind work you'd wish you never took 😀 Just pray make you no collect the one wey go take your joy🙏

Because a client was not treated properly, the secret sauce or recipe is now in the open.

I hope other vendors are watching what happens when you don't treat a client right. It takes just 1 client to bring you down.

I know potential clients are watching and taken note of the big exposè that this PR nightmare has thrown up.

There was apparently no credible alternative, now there is a vetted credible alternative.

The audacity of mistreating a client and turning around to publicly ask the same client to use his facility as a case study is icing on the cake of this PR fiasco for me.

Pretty much so ma'am.
Even before the inflation, it has always been significantly higher in cost than regular paints.
It's an industrial paint.

I’m not here to criticize money121 at all but me I have noticed the pride many years ago. Because of him I paid someone to teach me how to take measurement and how to purchase roofing sheets. I don’t do Lagos anymore. I pick up all my roofing items from Ibadan with the right gauge. I have installers in Ibadan . His boys re the worst, they will over quote and you will never detect.

But this one pass criticism sef.
I personally think there's room for improvement on his customer relations. Our clients are literally our ogas.
There's no big or small client. In nearly all cases, a client may make small purchase first to establish trust or make referrals for bigger jobs

Rightly said, even Oga get Oga,There are loads of challenges in the construction industry due to inflation valuations and pure thievery. It was a very Interesting Journey for me with my DIY building I swear as I have to engage everyone directly.

Go to Tower and ask then to bend ridges for you, then come back and tell us what they said.
There is always a niche in every market.
If the design of your roof would need ridge cap, after patronizing Tower, you will still look for those that would bend the ridge cap to fit your design.
We don’t appreciate these custom designs in Nigeria because labour is cheap. Any design or material whether roofing or other components that is fabricated specifically for a client makes the process a little complicated.
Very big companies like Tower will not take that risk and do not have time for such details. That is the gap filled by these other big one man companies.

I think this horse you are flogging is dead, Don't you think as a person building a house I will go to these factory with my own roofer? If they cant offer me the design I want don't you for once think I can go to a next factory to obtain it?I mentioned earlier The way client think is different from the way you as a workman think

Stop making assumptions. I don’t offer any service or sell anything here. Just presenting an unbiased view
I just told you Tower does not do custom ridge cap and you said you will go to next factory.
Is that not exactly the situation here? Let’s be specific. That next factory, won’t they spend time to have the ridge cap fabricated? Or you think they will have all the ridge caps set and ready for pickup?
Would you as person walk into that next factory, lose patience after a little normal wait time and start shouting at them after being entertained?
What exactly will your own roofer do for you at that factory? Does he know how to bend ridge caps?
