Hourly Rate: My standard pricing is based on an hourly rate, which includes labor and basic tools. 2. Materials Cost: Materials, supplies, and any additional equipment needed for the project will be billed separately. I can provide a detailed breakdown of material costs. 3. Discounts: I offer discounts for larger projects or if multiple tasks are bundled together. Feel free to ask about available discounts. 4. Travel Fees: Depending on the distance from my location to your home, there may be a nominal travel fee to cover transportation costs. 5. Emergency Services: For urgent repairs or projects requiring immediate attention, there may be an additional fee for emergency services. 6. Estimates: I provide free estimates, so you’ll know the expected cost before we begin the work. The estimate will outline all expected charges. 7. Payment Terms: Payment terms and methods will be discussed in advance. Typically, I accept cash, checks, or electronic payments. 8. Invoicing: You will receive a detailed invoice itemizing all charges, making it easy to review and reconcile expenses. 9. Scope Changes: If the scope of the project changes during the work, I’ll discuss any adjustments to the estimate with you before proceeding. 10. Satisfaction Guarantee: I stand by the quality of my work, and if you’re not satisfied, I’ll work to make it right.
