FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Many of my services have set pricing such as painting, flooring, tile & stone. Custom carpentry, repairs, design and cabinet/furniture refinishing are examples of services that require project specific estimates.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first like to meet with new customers at their home to get a clear understanding of the work desired. After our initial meeting, if project plans and materials have not been predetermined, I put together "option pricing" and estimated labor for various material or design options which will then be forwarded via email or a follow up meeting scheduled as needed. If all factors are decided in the initial meeting, I am usually able to do an onsite estimate.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Though I do spend time researching new materials and techniques within trades work, my most valuable training has been through mentorship by master tradesmen and years of hands on learning.
