FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Thumbtack requires a price to be listed; so I did. I do not charge for an estimate, or a consultation, I typically charge by the job rather than hourly. This puts the burden on me to complete the task in a timely manner. If the job is easier than I anticipated, I'll gladly discount my quote. Make sure the person is licensed and insured, there are people advertising themselves as 'handyman' on Thumbtack for electrical and plumbing work...don't fall for it.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold Master Electrical Licenses in NH, MA and CT, I am fully insured. I've been in the electrical construction trade for 30yrs+, my education is well varied, I have an ASEE, a BS and an MBA.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Technical high school, majored in Electrical Construction, wired houses as a teen and while attending college.
