FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Depending on the nature and size of your project I have 2 different types of pricing: 1) $40-50/hr depending on project. $60/hr for electrical. - Hourly rate will be billed by the 1/4 hour upon completion of project. Customer to pay all materials and taxes. 2) Contract by bid - I will arrange a time to come and look at the job. I will give you an estimate that covers all labor, materials & taxes. We will sign a written agreement. In some cases a 50% payment of the total job cost will be due to secure and start the project. I have a $100 minimum on all projects. For example: If I do a furniture assembly that only takes 1.5 hrs ... you will get charged for a total of 2 hours ($100).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Depending on the project I can sometimes give you accurate pricing remotely without looking at the job. I may request pictures or more information through the Thumbtack chat portal or request to chat on the phone to make sure we both have a clear understanding of the work that is to be done. In most cases I will need to look at the project first. I will send you a quote requesting how I want to proceed with the project and wether I will need more info to give you an accurate and fair quote.
