FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge half day or a full day on small jobs. Even if it only takes 1 hour. Larger jobs I will come out for an estimate (ranging north of a couple days).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to speak over the phone and gauge the scope of work. I like to talk about a ball park price quickly to gauge the sincerity of the customer and to see if we are on the same page to proceed. And finally, expected start dates.
