FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We do discounts for large jobs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The client tells me what exactly they are looking for and I listen and then repeat back the results they are looking for. When they agree, then I start my work.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started as an apartment maintenance man in Bellevue, then residential and commercial construction, then joined the IBEW Local 46 to do electrical work, then went on my own after I amassed enough tools.
