Before I leave any home after I complete a project I feel it's my duty to ask the customer if they are 100% satisfied with everything I have done. Asking this simple question let's my customer know that I care about the work I have done and also cuts down on service calls.
My minume charge is $125. My hourly fee is $75 for the first hour and $45 for each additional hour plus any materials.
I enjoy the transformation a nice improvement does to a home. Often times it's a few little things done that make a place so much more comfortable and appealing. A key factor to any home improvement is not to over spend. What I mean by that is don't invest more than you can recoup if you plan to sell your home anytime. Some improvements will not wear well and some go out of style eventually. So it's a good idea to take that in consideration when choosing a particular type or style of improvement. I believe it's always a good idea no matter what type of improvement you do is to choose quality products that will stand the test of time. That's money well spent. And the little extra money spent for quality can go along way. Too many times I bid on jobs that have been done a few years before and already needing the same thing again due to low quality materials used and or bad workmanship. There are many products like paints, Windows, doors, plumbing fixtures cabinets etc. that carry lifetime warranties. And some don't cost as much as you might think. It's a good idea to do a little research and see what's available before hiring a contractor. Contractors who have never worked with certain products would not recommend something they know nothing about. I do many types of home improvements and have been for a long time but I specialize in Windows, doors, glass and mirror. I say that because I started out right after high school working for a custom Window and Door manufacturer. The first thing I learned was how to cut glass. From there I went to assembly then, fabrication to installations then to sales, production, to manager, general manager and finally bought the company 20 years later. I've personally been involved with many brands and types of Windows and doors as well as insulated glass units which are used in almost all windows and doors today.
