FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We do most of our jobs on time and materials. There is a 20% charge on top of materials and subcontractors that are paid by MP Construction, this is for overhead costs. I believe this is the fairest way to go about a construction project for the customer and the contractor. By paying on a time and materials basis the customer is assured to get what they pay for. Estimates can be discussed prior to starting the project. Handy man work will be charged a oneway hourly rate with a 2 hour minimum payment. Only quality work is what we strive for.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will make an appointment to meet the new customer in person at the project location and go over their construction needs. After looking at their project whether it be a kitchen or a bathroom etc. I work with them so I can get a feel for their vision and if what their wanting is actually do able. I feel this is the first part of a successful working relationship. I like to work close with my customers keeping them involved and up to date as construction takes place.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started in the construction trades back in 2003 with my first project being in the Carmel Highlands. This home was a buy and resale project for me and my silent partner, it's what we like to call in the industry a flipper. Then as that project was coming to an end I stated another buy and sell project (flipper) in Pacific Grove Ca., and then on to one in Monterey. After these projects were finished that's when I decided to get my general contractors license in 2008 and go out on my own.
