FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For smaller jobs I can generally quote a job rate after a video consult or onsite visit. (Either is free.) For larger jobs, I can provide a time estimate and hourly rate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am happy to visit the site to meet you and see the job. If it is a job I can do I will quote a price, or an hourly rate and estimated job duration. We can agree on a schedule for the work, and a materials deposit. I may take photos of the job before I begin, and a few more when the job is done. Once the work is completed and approved by you, I will provide an invoice to be paid by cash, check, Paypal or Venmo. It's that easy... see you next time!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've always been interested in "how things work" and so most of my learning has been by doing. I began part-time work as a handyman in Portland, OR in 2011. In 2019, my wife and I took over the operation of a historic motel in Nelson, NZ, where I made continual improvements and repairs.
