Home Improvement By DB
About
From first contact to project completion, my goal is to be 100% honest and open. As well as maintaining an open line of communication and a clear understanding of my process and progress.
I take great pride in my work and expect the best of myself. Clean jobsites, respectful of others homes, always strive for perfection, and backup my work.
Looking back with inner pride at a finish product, reflecting on what it took and overcoming obstacles, knowing I accomplished it. Always enjoy working with my hands and being outside. And the best part of my work is the people I meet along the way and hearing their stories and laughs.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting a full understanding of what they need and want done first and answer any questions/concerns they may have. Once setting up a meeting at their leisure, I'd go over their project and discuss what can be done or any suggestions I may have to help shape their needs. Over the next day or two, I would write up a detailed estimate of the project with Itemized costs and timelines.

How did you get started in this business?
As a 17 year old who needed a job and developed a passion very quickly.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
When describing the project you want done, ensure the pro is not forcing their own ideas and ignoring yours. Also, make sure the pro is asking frequent questions and recapping details for confirmation.
Ask for references. Not everyone will be willing to go through multiple channels to submit a reference, however a quality pro will have a contact list of clients who would love to share/show off through project and experience.
When discussing costs, a quality and prideful pro will work with you and find ways to lower the cost and get the most of your budget. And always be aware, industry costs are high and low qoutes are low for a reason!
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Options you want so the pro can work through them with you.
Your Budget and a cap you are willing to spend.
What supplies you have and who will purchase them.
Range of timelines you are comfortable with to ensure an unexpected delay won't interfere with your life and plans.
