FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing includes base labor rate for myself along with overhead (leads cost money regardless of whether I’m hired or not, and it adds up quickly!), mobilization, and warranty work. A minimum fee of my hourly rate is necessary to cover mobilization and lead expenses for on-site estimates and will be credited to the final bill in most cases. Interior designers are welcome to inquire about trade pricing.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I treat every project as if I were helping my own mother with a honey-do list. I make sure that expectations are clearly stated and understood and I give options that focus on quality and longevity that are to code and don’t compromise safety, while staying within the budgetary parameters.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My father was a contractor and while my high school friends were hanging out on weekends, I was working with him on commercial tenant improvements and home remodels and by 21 years of age, I was a Site Superintendent for a commercial construction firm. I was a registered contractor in Montana for almost a decade and a maintenance supervisor here in the city.
