I hired The Tinker to install my new front door. He was very considerate, worked really hard and did a great job installing my new front door. He was very responsive during the week prior to starating the job. I would hire him again. Definitely. Very reasonable price, too! Thank you!

Very knowledgeable and easy to book an appointment with. Fixed my broken machine with no hassles and great value. Would certainly use again for any other appliances I need to repair.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be extremely affordable. If it's something I can do quickly I will only charge for the time. I will only adjust my price for materials. If I quote something and it takes me longer than I expected, that's on me. I thought that was the way it was supposed to work for everyone, but I guess I was mistaken.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To get as much information on what they want the finished product or project to look like. There may be a more efficient and affordable way to accomplish what is needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have formal training in motorcycle mechanics, bartending, automatic door testing and safety, welding, fire door regulations, locksmithing, and I have been working in the commercial door and hardware industry for 20 years.
