FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based on each individual project and its complexity, which is usually based on labor & materials. It can also include architect, engineer, permitting, specialty sub-contractors, and taxes.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process of working with a new customer is speaking with them on the phone to setup a meeting time to meet in person, so we can go over the project details together in person. Then, I can write up an estimate/bid proposal of the project to email to the customer. Hopefully, soon after, we can agree on the the estimate/bid proposal and we schedule a time to meet to sign a contract with a deposit, so we can proceed forward with their project.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 35 years of hands-on experience and knowledge in the construction industry. The State of Oregon requires a General Construction Contractor to take educational classes before they can get their license. Then, every two years, Oregon requires that I take refresher courses to stay on top of the new or changed construction industry building laws to keep my license active. (Washington does not require this education to get a license or to keep to a license active, nor continued education of construction laws.) I also have an Oregon lead based paint license that requires refresher courses every three years to keep my license active. As I do projects in Washington, I learn and keep current with the construction industry building laws through the city or county permitting process.
