FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For single items I can give a flat rate as long as it's under $500. 00 including mat. and labor because I'm not a Ca. state licensed contractor. I never ask for money up front, I never mark up materials or ask for a fee just to show up. I stopped charging by the hour this year. I've noticed customers like that much better. I like it better too. I can tell they are more relaxed and not glancing at the clock every 5 min.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm always researching newer/faster ways of doing things. Improved materials, faster drying glues, stronger concrete etc.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I kind of fell into it after I retired from the Navy Seabees. I love fixing things but also wanted a business of my own. it was a perfect fit. The best part is helping others who are in need. The satisfaction from that alone is priceless.
