FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every job gets one flat price, quoted up front from your photos and measurements. No hourly rates and no surprise charges. Small jobs have a $225 minimum, which covers travel and materials. Most jobs I can quote free from photos and measurements. If an in-person visit is needed, there's a $50 estimate fee, waived if you hire me. If you have leftover paint, painting the repaired area is included. If you need a color match, it's an extra $50–75, and I'll be honest with you: new paint doesn't always blend perfectly with older walls. Payment is due only once the job is done and you're happy with it. Accepted payment methods are listed on my profile.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) Send me clear photos of the damage plus rough measurements (length × width of the damaged area, and ceiling height if it's overhead), and I'll get back to you quickly with a flat price. 2) We pick a day that works for you. I can start as early as 7am. 3) On the job, I cover your floors and sand with a vacuum system and HEPA filter to keep dust to a minimum. 4) When I'm done, we walk through it together so you can see the finished work before you pay. I can also send you a written breakdown of everything that was done.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I learned drywall finishing from my father, a career finisher, and worked for years in my family's drywall company. That included commercial and institutional projects in Atlanta like Georgia Tech, Coca-Cola, and the Atlanta Zoo, where the finish standards are strict. I've been finishing drywall for 10 years.
