FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I generally treat Thumbtack as a means of introduction. Unless a job is small and straight forward, I prefer to meet the customer and see the work in person. I don't believe that any contractor can give you a fair and accurate bid sight unseen. He can only bid high enough to cover all eventualities, and that may be more work than you actually need or want.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have thirty years of experience in residential construction, tenant improvements, and for a period of years I was a project manager for CBC, a company doing re-construction work. This consisted of working with architects and engineers to repair structural defects in existing buildings. I have also completed training and was certified as a home inspector with InterNachi. I have held my California contractors license for almost thirty years without a customer complaint and at one time was approached by the State Contractors Board to become an arbitrator for disputes.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was raised in a family of construction workers and contractors.
