What To Expect:
To ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible, here's what you can expect -
Before the Visit:
Initial communication should be made via email or text. Please include a brief description of the work you'd like done and, if possible, photos of the area or project. This helps me prepare and bring any tools or equipment I may not typically carry. In your email, include your address, your availability, and the best way to contact you. I normally will answer most emails the same day, typically in between appointments, depending on my schedule.
During the Appointment:
You (or someone you trust) should be home to provide access and go over the scope of work, goals, and any specific concerns. I'll do my best to arrive within a reasonable time window, but due to the nature of this work, exact times are not always possible. I will keep you updated with any changes or delays as early as I can. I carry a wide array of tools and supplies in my van and can usually tackle most tasks without delay. However, having a brief job description ahead of time allows me to gather any additional materials or equipment in advance - often during travel - which helps reduce downtime and keep your costs down. You're also welcome to supply any necessary materials if you'd prefer I stay on-site and focused on the work.
Cancellations:
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I greatly appreciate as much advance notice as possible.
After the Work Is Done:
I do my best to clean up thoroughly, vacuuming and protecting the work area with plastic sheeting where appropriate. Construction debris is ultimately the responsibility of the homeowner, but I can remove debris for you if requested - there is a $50 fee for this service, and a 50 lb. limit. Larger projects may require additional arrangements.
Payment:
Payment is due upon completion of the work. I accept bank cards via Square. If we've made prior arrangements for me to access your home without you present or if you need to leave before the job has been completed, please ensure payment details are arranged in advance. Multi day projects will be billed daily.
Pricing:
My pricing structure is designed with fairness, transparency, and simplicity in mind. I charge an hourly rate of $80, plus the cost of any materials and supplies. There is no minimum time required for a job, but a flat $50 travel fee applies to cover time and expenses associated with getting to your location.
While I understand some customers prefer receiving a set quote upfront, I've chosen to use this straightforward hourly model to keep costs as low and equitable as possible. Providing formal estimates often requires a significant amount of time visiting multiple job sites, which ultimately drives up the cost for everyone. By eliminating that step, I'm able to focus more of my time on actual work - saving you money in the long run.
As a handyman, I specialize in smaller jobs that are often overlooked by larger building and remodeling companies. These tasks may not be large in scale, but they deserve the same level of attention, quality, and professionalism. My mission is to bring reliable, high-quality craftmanship to every project, while offering a pricing structure that reflects only the time and materials truly required - nothing more. I'm committed to delivering value, efficiency, and a service experience that you can trust.
