One thing I'll add is that this trade is a little unique. The typical job lasts 1 or 2 weeks, we almost necessarily develop a rapport with the customer. It's not as impersonal as say having a plumber fix a leak or an HVAC guy servicing a furnace (not to suggest that a trade like those is necessarily impersonal). Usually a long lasting relationship develops- most of our work now comes from word of mouth, we dropped our Yellowpages ad years ago. Some of you may see this as all the more reason not to betray their trust, which I could agree with. The point I'm making is that we're not quite the "stranger" to our customers as it might seem on the face of it. The majority of our customers leave us in their home by ourselves daily and trust us fully. Just a little distinction I thought needed to be made...
