Customer told me my wire runs looked like spaghetti, so I changed my whole approach

I had this one job in a big office building in Denver where the homeowner walked in, looked at my panel, and said 'dude, this looks like a bowl of spaghetti.' lol I was kinda annoyed at first but he was right. So I started using those little adhesive wire clips to keep everything straight and use a label maker for every single zone wire. Now I leave the panel looking clean enough that customers actually take pictures of it lol. Has anyone else had a client call them out on messy work like that?

Totally get that feeling. Had a client walk in my panel once and just go "whoa" in a bad way. Stung but they were right. Started doing the same thing with the cable management and labeling everything before I even close the lid. Now I take pictures for my own records too, just in case someone says something again. Feels way better walking away knowing it looks clean.

Those little adhesive clips and a decent label maker changed my whole workflow too. I actually buy the clips in bulk packs now because I go through so many on a single job. Have you tried the ones that let you bundle multiple wires together with one clip?
