Rancho Cucamonga plaster artist fights to save his career

Steve Selos' work is absolutely out of this world.
He can create a stunning masterpiece that you will be delighted to show to your friends and best of all - you get to look at it everyday.
I'm not biased - I've known the guy since 1982 - when he married his lovely wife here in Swindon, England. Keep up the great work Steve.

Well join the club Steve. The economy is hurting in a hole. I agree Steve is one of the best plaster's in the world however his cockiness has caused me not to use him. I recently contacted him to do a repair on a job and possibly have him in my construction career as a subcontractor for us. He passed up a job with my company due to only being able to make 850 for 6hrs of work. As for us we are taking work to pay our bills and we are only making about 200 a day and that is barely enough to pay the bills. So humble yourself and adjust your price to accommodate the economy in a whole. I understand that there are a bunch of immigrants that are making it hard for legitimate businesses to give competitive bids.

Is this guy for real? He is working on the wrong side of the equation. Selling off your tools to bring in money? You got to go out and change some part of your business model from the past when times were good, at least temporarily. Lower costs to what people can afford now, work smaller but more jobs. possibly add some additional services.......If your as good as the article states the work will be there. But it has to be in line with current economics. I used to make 30% margin on products I sold to the construction industry, now less than 20%. I work alot harder to find deals to pass on to my customers. I emphasise work harder.
