FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate is $80/hour with a 2-hour minimum ($160). Many customers do ask if I can provide firm estimates. I will give my best approximation of how much time I expect the project to take. However, with every project, unexpected surprises do happen which can affect the total time for completion. I will never intentionally stall a project to make more money. I work in a very honorable and professional manner and strive to do right by my customers.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally, I try to get as much information as possible from the new customer so that I can fully understand the scope of work. If I ever encounter something I am not capable of doing, I am upfront about that and will recommend someone who is able to do so. Usually with pictures and a detailed description of what the customer needs, I am able to provide an estimate before arriving. Sometimes I will need to see the project in person, when necessary, before I can provide an estimate.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, which has developed strong problem-solving skills that are invaluable to handyman work. Engineering has taught me to analyze complex situations, think critically, and devise effective solutions - skills that are crucial when tackling various home repair and maintenance tasks. My engineering background allows me to approach every job methodically and efficiently, ensuring high-quality results and customer satisfaction every time. For my practical, hands-on experience; I have been managing rental properties for 6+ years and have developed a wide-range of skills from the various maintenance and problems that have occurred in that time. In addition to that, I have taken on various projects from living room refreshes - to complete bathroom renovations - all the way to full house flips.
