Introduction: I have 18 years experience in all home maintenance and repair work in both the Residential and Commercial side of things. I have a Bachelors of Applied Science Degree (BAS) degree in Electronic Engineering (EET). I also have 10 years experience in Electronics and mechanical repairs of machinery. I worked on everything from microwaves and laundry equipment, to Aviation and industrial manufacturing equipment. I actually, genuinely care about making sure that the customers get what they need, not what they think they need. I am here, to protect the customer, from wrong information, and bad contractors. I ENJOY HELPING PEOPLE SOLVE PROBLEMS. I am sort of a house doctor that provides peace of mind and assurance to my customers. I charge $100 minimum which covers first hour and I charge $50 per additional hour. The $100 minimum is to cover my expenses such as gas, wear and tear on my vehicle, (ie tires and breaks) , my tool cost, and my time to do estimates and my time spent driving to and from a job . On average the minimum round trip drive Time is 1 to 2 hours. The traffic in Western Wa is almost as bad as LA. If I have to go to Seattle or anywhere south of Bellevue, or anywhere North of Mukilteo, or anywhere East of Redmond, there are additional charges.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
PRICES: MONDAY THRU FRIDAY - $50 per hour and require a 2 hour minimum charge = $100 which covers first 2 hours SATURDAYS - 4 hour minimum = $200 SUNDAYS - 4 hour minimum $75 per HOUR = $300 minimum (this is considered emergency service) EMERGENCIES Mondays thru Saturdays ARE CHARGED THE SAME AS SUNDAY
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
IF YOU NEED AN ESTIMATE: PLEASE EMAIL US A COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED DONE. I can not estimate a job without the complete list, nor can I bring the correct tools to the job, without a complete list. (only call if it is an emergency, email is preferred for non-emergencies) Please note: Half of the customers who call me, are helped right over the phone and through email, without me ever going to their location. If you are interested in having a chance at saving a bunch of money, simply follow my instructions. I’m a lazy contractor, I’d rather spend an hour giving you free advice through email than spend 2 hours travel time, just to go over to your house a push a GFCI button. Please be aware, If I have to drive all the way out to you to just push a button, I will charge you. And then I won't be able to look at myself in the mirror for a week, and you will hate me and resent me. So please do us both a favor…..entertain my desire for photos and written descriptions of the work you want done. It just might save me a trip, save you money, and you won't hate me for doing something really simple that you can do yourself. I talk myself out of a lot of work, but I also make a lot of happy customers, who want to call me again, and allow me to get their money for work they really need my help on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Constantly keeping up on what the latest and greatest solutions are available for all sorts of problems. I am always searching for new ideas, new types of materials, and new tools that can make me more efficient. I have a Bachelors of Applied Science (BAS) degree in electronics / electrical engineering, I have about 2 years of Plumbing and Electrical schooling from CTI Trade school, and I have 18 years experience.
