FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not have any pricing system set in place now. Eventually I will but for now I am just trying to get my name out there and build up a reputation. The last job I quoted the customer laughed at me when I quoted her and then offer to double what I had asked..... but I look at most things differently than most people. The material I gather from jobs will eventually become furniture that I will sell. So making money on a job is an added bonus and for the first few customers I have I will not charge much at all.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Find out exactly what they want and try to communicate with them as much as possible.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been hands on and I have built things since as far back as I can remember. I used to help my grandfather in his wood shop whenever I visited and eventually I ended up with his Stihl chainsaw that I still use to this day.
