Anyone who tells you that the litmus test for a quality installation is “as long as it works” is not committed to their craft. Yes, it may work, and it may work for a very long time….. However, that is the bare minimum. That is the very least you would expect of someone. Anything less than “it works” is not only failing but it may be dangerous.
It is certainly true that:
“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.” ~ Luke 16:10 ~
So pay attention to whether or not someone takes care of the details… especially as the job is finishing up.
Form isn’t everything. However, it can tell you a lot about someones character and integrity.
