I prefer residential work after doing both. It's cool to have bigger jobs and stuff but it always seems to be after hours or puts our production in a weird spot, then I feel like I'm chasing some accounts receivable department to get paid. I don't mind jumping through hoops on the front end but I haven't had good experiences on the back end with commercial.&nbsp;

That makes sense. Big commercial jobs are great, but chasing down payments can be tough. Hard to beat the steady flow and quicker pay with residential work. Appreciate you sharing, super helpful to hear!
