FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are based upon where the market is set. Customers should keep this is mind and consider that every job is different. Some are very straight forward, while others require more work than initially expected. Before getting started I thoroughly assess the task at hand, and try to identify any potential obstacles. I do my best to work with every customer, while always maintaining my integrity. I offer a 10% discount for cash payments and 10% off on future work for referrals. “Cheap labor is not always good labor, and good labor is not always cheap.”
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I completed an accredited apprenticeship through Washington DC’s Plumbers & Gasfitters local. This consisted of attending various classes after work two nights a week, over a five year period. I am now a licensed Journeyman Plumber & Gasfitter.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
In my early twenties I decided I wanted to work with my hands. I started off doing work for a handyman contractor, before being offered a job at a low voltage company. After a few years, I was urged by a family friend to look into the Plumbers & Gasfitters Union (Washington DC Local 5). Seeing the great potential opportunity in it, I applied and was accepted.
