   *When I first settled on Home Solutions, I got several people talking to me about the absence of my name. So my signs and cards say "Rich Beckman's Home Solutions". The point being that there are a lot of people who want to see that you are willing to put your own name on the business.Barber's Solid ConstructionBarber's Stability ConstructionRich Beckman

   *My brother and brother in law were hanging rock in San Francisco and saw a painting company truck go by. The name of the business was on the side, "Two White Guys who do Drugs and Paint Houses." They thought it was a great name (it being SF) as well as truth in advertising. Tried to come up with one for themselves, but only came up with, "Two Punks who Rock" (my brother was sporting a Mohawk at the time). -David

   *Don't do what I did......The Great American Carpentry Company, Inc. (GACC to everyone around here).It's a pain to write and people get the wrong idea. My feeling was that America is a Great place.....some people think that it's a statment about how "Great" we think we are.......go figure.The name doesn't matter.....Barber Builders sounds solid to me. Anyway, if you can't pull off the work, you're name will be mud anyway.Good luck,Ed. Williams

   *I'm not gonna suggest a name; I'm about to change my company name, cause I screwed up the first time. Here's my motto , though, if that's any help. "Will make cabinets for food."

   *When you put your name on the side of the same truck you use for other purposes, be careful. Every Thursday, my afternoon golf league foursome gets to the seventh green at about 3:00, just across the street from a tavern, and the B&B Home Improvement pick-up is in the tavern's parking lot. I don't think I'll call them for my house.

    *I heard that the guy who accused you of that was a real arse. Matter of fact, I hear the guy keeps going around pushing peoples' buttons and all-round rabble-rousing too. A regular fat ugly wart on the ass of society.

    *Hey Barry, Are you some kind of elitist? Just because you can take every Thursday afternoon off to play golf does not mean the good old boys from B&B (Blodgett & Beckman?) can't take off for some pool, oops billards, and genteel relaxation. Then again, Thursday may be the day they stop by just in case a window or two need (or may soon need) fixing.

   *That was exactly my point! But would jim go for it? NOOOooooo! He had to have permanant signs! No cheap hack magnetic signs for him! I tried to tell him that he was partnered with a hack, so the magnets made sense! But ol' jim just couldn't agree. You know he's always agreeing with me on this board, but in life he is just contrary...I don't care what Kathy says!Rich Beckman

   If I lived in Canada, and was looking for a construction company, I know "Canadian Pride Construction" would have what I want in a construction company.

   If you like it, it's yours. (you might want to send me a case of your favorite Canadian beer as a gesture of appreciation-hint,hint)

   Hmmm....maybe....maybe they go hand in hand...?!....Yeah, that's the ticket! Best carpenter automatically means best bullshitter! Does that work for you? Works for me. Of course, I make no claims to either title!

   For the record (and if it makes you feel any better!), I never applied for "big liar"

   When we first started out (as subs) we called ourselves "the last word in fine homebuilding". Of course,none of our contractors knew that F.I.N.I. stood for F*** It, Nail It.

   I am at a total loss for coming up with a new company name for my construction company. I live in Canada so anyone down south willing to suggest or share I would be gratefull!! I am your typical contractor/general contractor that deals with homes,condos,town homes, renovations and commercial work as well.
