FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  We do not offer painting services, thank you for all the interest we have received! All pricing is based on total surface area to be worked on and assumes ceiling heights (when applicable) up 10' or less. Pricing for ceiling heights over 10' is priced on a case by case basis to accommodate scaffolding and other logistical concerns. Repairs receive steep discounts for each additional repair of equal or lesser size added to the project: with a sufficient number of repairs included in your scope our final tier of discounts is over 80%! All pricing includes basic masking of work areas and a broom clean at the end of the work. Sometimes materials makes it's way outside of masked areas and we do our best to clean those areas up too!

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We do not offer free onsite walkthroughs to view projects however we do provide free estimates by remote using the processes described below. For Repairs we ask that customers provide at least one photo of the area(s) requiring repair showing the damage in its entirety and some of the surrounding area. This is the process we have been using for over 18 months and provide 100% of our quotes from. We can usually return a quote within thirty minutes or less. For Finishing, Texture Application, Skim Coat or other similar projects larger than a few repairs we are completely confident that if you provide the information below there is no need for a time-consuming walkthrough that wastes your valuable time. What we need to know: •The total area of the project (i.e., if we will be providing Finishing for a basement remodel we need to know the total area of the basement that will be finished) AND the total number of rooms including hallways & bathrooms AND the max ceiling height OR the total number of drywall sheets that will be/are installed (note: for the purposes of finishing, even a section of installed sheetrock that is 4’ x 3’ is considered 1 sheet. More joints means more work) AND the max ceiling height. •If there is more than one straight soffit per room or if there is complex soffiting (e.g. a room has a ceiling “recess” bordered on four sides by a soffit. Alternatively, sometimes HVAC or other mechanicals require soffiting with multiple turns or unusual angles) •If cornerbead will be installed; if not we also need to know what type of cornerbeard is required •The desired Finish or Texture (Finishes: Level 3, Level 4, Level 5. Textures: Knockdown, Orange Peel, Stompbrush/sponge, Skip Trowel, Pool Trowel, Spanish Knife, Patterned Brush, Random Brush, etc.) •If a dumpster will be provided. Generally speaking most basement finishes (up to 1,500ft²) generate 8 or less 42 gallon contractor bags weighing no more than 25lbs Once we have the information above we can generate a quote very quickly: for repairs we usually provide quotes within fifteen minutes and for Finishing projects if not the same day then by the following morning. When you decide to move forward with us we are normally able to furnish you with a detailed written quote and our service agreement by the next morning; we ask that the service agreement be reviewed and signed within 24 hours of receipt to confirm scheduling in an effort to be considerate of other customers’ scheduling needs. Most projects do not require a deposit but sometimes it is necessary to cover unusual costs (e.g. if the project requires a dumpster, scaffolding or an unusual quantity of materials we will require a deposit for those items before the work can commence). In all other situations no payment is required until the project is completed; we accept Cash, Check or Venmo.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have worked in custom home remodeling and construction from 2016 to 2020. 10 years of carpentry starting with small home repair and then moved into building small wooden boats while still living on the East Coast. Over the past 15 years I've had experience with every aspect of home maintenance and construction. I returned to my own business after project management and found that I thoroughly enjoy drywall work (please don't judge me) and changed focus to specialize solely on this discipline.
