1. What is the process for
obtaining
a free estimate?
Simply give us a call or drop us an email and let us know how and when
you would like to be contacted. We will then set up an
appointment to
meet with you and discuss your project. Often, we can give you an
estimate at this stage based upon our previous experience with jobs
having similarities to yours. If we are unable to do this, we
will
prepare a detailed estimate and get back to you as soon as possible.
Small jobs are often hard to estimate so handyman services are usually
charged on a time and materials basis. Our Handyman Services are
billed at a rate of $45.00 per hour per skilled craftsman. Our
labor charges apply to all work-related activities such as reviewing
the job with the customer, doing the work, traveling to get supplies
and materials, and clean up. In the Denver Metro area, labor
charges begin when we depart for the job and end when we leave.
You pay travel one way. We have a one hour minimum charge to
cover our overhead expenses, travel and paperwork. Our customers
generally get a better value for their money if we can take care of
several things at once, because proportionately more of our time can be
spent on productive work at the jobsite versus overhead
functions. Customers can also save money by having the needed
materials on site (paint colors, fixtures, hardware selections,
etc.)
For detailed estimating on larger projects, we
utilize computer software
that includes a database of current building costs for residential and
commercial construction. This includes the costs associated with
materials, equipment and labor. We may need to determine the
costs of
subcontractors, if applicable, as well as fees charged by
municipalities for building permits and inspections. Our software
helps
us to have fairness and consistency in our estimating. We believe
that
you should get a fair value
for your money.
We want you to understand what we think is involved in
your project and we will be happy to discuss the rationale behind our
quote. We understand that once you have our quote, you might want
to
look it over for a time before committing to a contract. We won’t
pressure you in that regard. We encourage you to shop around
until you
are satisfied that you have found the right contractor for your
job. If
you decide to hire us, give us a call and we will draw up the
papers.
If not, there’s nothing more you need to do.
2. What does the quote entail?
The Quote details the proposed services and their associated costs, and
also includes a contract explaining each Party’s
Responsibilities. Our
quotes may include a drawing or set of drawings detailing the work to
be performed. You should let us know if you have any questions or
concerns and we will try to address them.
3.
Do you have references?
We sure do. We are happy
to provide
references upon request.
