FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing within remodeling can be tricky - every project is different than the last, and each one comes with it's own set of challenges. I work hard to relay all of the different options you'll have in front of you so you know exactly what you're paying for. I don't charge any "fees", however like any business, I do have material markups, that are disclosed on my proposals. Permitting fees are separate and charged for on a job-by-job basis determined by the respective township.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To get things rolling (aside from the initial phone call), I like to physically see every project in person. This is a very visual trade - for both me as a contractor and you, as the client. We're building something, no matter how small it is, and the site visit is necessary to determine scale as well as functionality. Once we've met in person and have established a budget that works for the project, I can offer rendering services if needed, or can begin to research options if there's no need for a drawing. The more info you have when we initially meet, even if it's images from a Google search, the better! After a clear direction has been established, and some material choices are picked, I can move ahead to writing a proposal and get some formal prices going for you.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
-I attended a vocational high school. -While living in Massachusetts, I had an active Construction Supervisor's License, which is a tested licensing program based upon the ICC's residential building code.
