Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will take a look at your project and listen to you the customer and ask questions to get an idea of what we are looking to accomplish with their project. I take that information and put together a detailed estimate for a fair and accurate price. I also work hard to stay on time and on budget
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been trained in the RRP ( repair, remodel and paint) safety program. I was trained by a master remodeling contractor and a master carpenter in remodeling older (90+ year old) homes. I have read hundreds of remodeling and fine woodworking magazines and carpentry books. I can do framing and trim carpentry cabinet making, installation as well as book cases or (built in's). I also paintusing spray equipment for built in's and a brush and roller for rooms.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $55.00 per man hour
How did you get started in this business?
I was in the printing trades and operated a 5 color printing press. The start of a new family and the decline of printing jobs led me to starting my own remodeling business.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Reasonable people who want a good finished project. Naturally they are on a budget. That is established when I stard my bidding process.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Do not always take the lowest bid. I would choose to hire someone you feel comfortable working with and who you believe will add value to your home
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Any question is a fair question. With that said, they can ask me a question and I will answer it whether it is framing like how would I layout an unfinished basement for a a bathroom bedroom and a familyroom with closet and storage space and make is all square.
Or: How can crownmolding be installed over a plaster walls without having the crownmolding falling off the walls in 10 years? There is a right way to do that.
Or: what is included in your price? Ultimately it is detailed in the contract.
