RGC Housewrights

Initially we meet at the project site where we discuss their budget and the ideal design of the project. Once that has been completed and depending upon the size and scope of the job design professionals will be introduced to draw up the scope of the job so we can put numbers into the job 

As the owner of the company I have been involved in the home improvement industry for over 45 years.  There is not much I have not seen when it comes to home improvement and designs.  With many special training certifications we undersand interior comfort, air quality, HVAC Plumbing and moisture concerns. You will understand our expertise once you have the opportunity to chat with me. 

Our prices vary depending upon the work specialty requested.  This number is a low of $35 per hr for single handyman type of project to $75 per hr for a complex home remodeling project per person or $55 to $125 for a experienced professional and helper. 

I have been involved in building trades my entire life.  My father and his father was as well.  

My client base has varied as much as the work and services RGC Housewrights provides.  Although we do a major amount of long time work over several months on higher end homes.  We do enjoy the shorter quicker projects the smaller homes such as painting and handyman services.  Many times this built up of trust doing smaller projects provides us with larger long term work once the owner sees the professional outcome of our work and what we can provide 

don’t shop price.  You will always get what your paying for.  While there are many companies that provide a good service for low costs finding one is a needle in haystack.  Also payment options are also something to be careful of. Don’t over pay for work and materials that haven’t been provided.  Smaller projects under $500 a 50% deposit is the very max you should be paying. As job prices increase the payments should be broken down into smaller amounts. Average expensive projects should be around 20% deposit with project points achieved for each additional payment made. 

Budget. Budget. Budget. Things are not what you should expect after seeing a home improvement show on TV.  Many new clients oftentimes are reluctant to tell the contractor what they are willing to pay. It is vital for the contractor to know exactly what the owner is willing to pay. As an example you could consider a simple bath remodel project. New tub floor walls ceilings and floors. Toilet and vanity.  On a simple low budget price for this kind of a renovation will run $9,000. While a high end bathroom renovation same size bath can go as much as $25,000.  But understanding the clients budget will allow the contractor to provide owner with a realistic cost estimate and product selection that fits within their costs.   Time is money for a contractor. Oftentimes a contractor will provide an estimate based upon the clients dream bath only to loose out on a job because the product selection was beyond what they were willing to pay.  The result is the client lost out on a better quality contractor and the contractor lost money on a perspective client spending his or her time preparing the quote and not getting the job.
