FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
**IMPORTANT PRICING INFO** $5 off per hour if paid in cash! I cannot tell you what the total price will be until the job is done. Quality workmanship takes as long as it takes. And it almost always takes longer than I think it would. Therefore, I can’t give you a set price because every job is different, with different conditions and requirements to do it right. For example, it should take less than an hour to change out a leaky faucet. But if the valves are 50 years old and need to be replaced, and getting them off the pipes is difficult for any number of reasons, now it turns into a half day job. This kinda thing happens all the time. I work by the hour. My rate is $80/hour. $75/hour if paid in cash I have a two hour minimum. I work fast and efficiently. When I start your job, I want to finish it as quickly as possible so I can get to the next one. I guarantee it will be done to the highest standards and warranty all my work for one year. I’m worth every penny. Also, I do not pay for material out of pocket. There are a number of ways we can handle getting the required materials to your location. If I pick it up will call, I charge a $50 fee to cover my time and expenses. I have the utmost respect for anyone who has served in the armed forces and I will knock off $10/hour discount to veterans or warriors currently protecting this great country and the constitution. IOU. We all do.
