FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I give a good product for a fair price. There are average prices as can be seen on google. I follow some of these but if I am doing a job for a client I would bundle the pricing basically giving the client a discount. Pricing also varies by job complexity and materials cost. I do not like to give prices without seeing the job. For example hanging a chandelier in eight foot ceiling versus 12 ft and also dependent on fixture weight.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Contact by text email or telephone. Get a basic idea of project. See job in person if possible (no charge) or necessary. Explain best options if client is open to this. Set estimate ( which can go up or down depending on materials that may be needed) Get down payment and schedule time to start. Punctuality and reliability is the key.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Over 30 years in remodeling (have done a little of all aspects of construction) for self friends and clients. Certificate in construction management. Worked as superintendent for a construction company for four years. Have learnt my capabilities and know when to tell clients I am not good at something.
