Martinez General Contractors LLC

We like to start off with getting to know a customer and what their needs are in our capacity.

then we like to have them send any information of what they want or have. Including pictures of the existing project area, any bids or consultations they have already had, if they'd like to get a permit or need one or want us to, (If required) and then we like to set up an estimate(free for price estimates)(handy man work is hourly and we can give approximate estimations but could very dependent on project variables

Osha 30 training

union sheet metal apprenticeship (7 years experience)

A CLASS CDL

8 years comerxial and residential roofing 

5 years general construction and remodel work including equipment operating 

Typically projects cost around 2.5 times the cost of the materials but that's just a guid we use and can vary baesd on projects. We like to operate by price per square foot when possible 

We kept hearing horrible stories of people having to wait months for contractors to show up and of contractors starting a project then never coming back and how some contractors were just not skilled in the trades they were doing. We even had to deal with some contractors who took on work for us who had never done that work before and charged professional prices.

we decided we want to be a positive impact on the community we live in and want to restore the value of hiring a professional. If we don't do the work we vet and find some one who can professionally. We strive for customer satisfaction but ultimately we do what we agree per contract and sometimes we can't make everyone happy but we do our best. And at the minimum we do what our contract says.

often times we toss in free services for a kind client. 

for example one client hired us to wash their siding. Their gutters looked full and sad  . We washed out their gutters for free and they hired us to do their roof too

Have pictures of what you want, realize everyone has different overhead and different experience and different standards.

do some research on what you want done and always add 30 percent to the price of what you think it would cost if you haven't had it done before.

even as a professional, we don't always think of everything that goes into a project, we are all human.

ultimately, if the salesman doesn't have actual work experience in the field don't bother with that company.

Don't get pressured into signing a document that day.

if the pressure you then the company is desperate and won't give you their best quality, especially if you haggle them down. Find a company that has good values and respects your boundaries. If your child has a nap time and they hassle you about an appointment, lose their number.
