FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every job is different although some of the core work to be done can be the same in many of the projects you might be considering at your home or business. Site conditions, accessibility, material selections, and overall scope of work are often factors that can affect the final price of most projects making it difficult to have a "standard price".
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once initial contact has been made, an in-person visit is scheduled. During this visit the ideas a homeowner might have for their project are discussed, we will also offer some suggestions as needed, and begin the process of figuring out what the total cost to do the work will be. A detailed estimate will be provided complete with materials to be used, allowances for some items, expected timeline, and the overall scope of work to be included. Our bidding process is designed to be turn-key. In other words, the price quoted is the price you will pay unless upgrades are requested, changes to the original scope of work are made, or hidden issues not known at time of quote become an issue.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in business going on 31 years. Have learned all I know through hard work, working with other master tradesman, and possessing an aptitude and love for what I do. When I was younger, I wanted to be a doctor, even went to school for it. But, as is the case in many of our lives, what I thought I would do; being a doctor of people, became being a doctor of homes and businesses, not what I thought I would do.. I am college educated with a General Management degree in business as well as have two minors, one in Human Resources Management and one in International Management. I have been licensed as a builder since I was 18 years old. I also have had real estate sales training and passed the state test to become licensed to sell real estate although I do not currently do so. I am also lead certified and know and understand the hazards that lead can cause.
