FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
No. Most construction/remodel services will range from $20-$45/hour. Cleaning services range from $16-$26/hours. And home inspections cost $0.12-$0.20/sq.ft. It really depends on how much behind the scenes work will be required and how specialized the task is. For flooring installation and refinishing we have specific pricing that we can share upon request.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Depending on the size and complexity of the task, we may need to meet face to face a few times before work can begin. The first meet would be to review the project site and give a better idea of cost to the customer in case there are any details that skew the original bid. The second meet is typically when I bring samples based on conversations and emails with the client and hopefully we make all of our decisions then and can move into the work phase. Typically there is a deposit ranging from 25-60% upfront depending on the situation and the rest is due upon completion.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I grew up in a family that did a lot of the same things I do now. My grandfather owned a windows and doors company and I worked for him every summer. My father was a youth minister but did construction at different times to supplement his income and he also had a construction company for a while. My mother cleaned houses for doctors until I was 14 and she got her first degree. I would go along and she would teach me how to clean and how to talk with clients and really just all the how-to's of customer service. My parents also flipped our first house before moving for a better job and that experience is really what inspires my love for all things home and always being homewise. I also have a degree in Mechatronics which gave me plenty technical experience that contributes. I have been doing work in these areas almost non-stop since I was 13 and I hope to continue until I'm 83.
