Pro tip: A painter in Spokane told me my seams were too proud
He said he was sanding for an extra hour on every room I did, which was costing him. I started checking my final coat with a straight edge before it dried, and now I barely get any callbacks. What's the one piece of feedback that actually stuck with you guys?

Ever notice how the best advice is always about fixing your blind spot? Like when a client told me I was over-trimming a specific type of maple, making it grow back weird. That one sentence saved me so much corrective work later. It's always the thing you don't even think to check that bites you.

Totally get what you mean about blind spots. But honestly, sometimes the best advice is just a basic reminder of something you already know but keep skipping. Like, I kept getting feedback that my project emails were too long and people missed the action items. The fix wasn't some new trick, it was just finally putting "Action Required" in bold at the top every single time, which I knew I should do. It's the simple, obvious thing you're lazy about that causes the most hassle.
