- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a general contractor for lot of years, we used a cost book, to find out what it would take to repair or install division of work. I can tell my client, about what it will tack to complete the job, within a couple of hours, I keep a guide book with me at all times so I could show the client what it could cost.

I read a lot of books, and ask around, look for new ways, to complete the project, find new tools out on the market, I have a two year AA Degree Architectural Interior Design, and keep up with interior design. I go to home shows, and ask other contractors how they do there Specialty work and what type of new materials they are using.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was a general contractor for a long time and work for Contraction Company on every large job some going on for 2 to 3 years at a time, and stuck in one place. I had all the equipment and tools to be a handyman, and stay in my own back yard. I like working with my hands, and meeting people.
