FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices are not set in stone, but to better serve each customer and get the best price our tech must visually inspect each job in person to determine which plan of action is best for your situation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We first talk to you about the task on hand and find different ways that we can successfully complete the task.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in the business for over a decade and continue to do better than yesterday. Each situation and job is just a little different but nothing I haven't seen before
