## PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME
I believe in treating every customer with professionalism, honesty, and respect, and I expect the same consideration in return.
**ESTIMATES & CONSULTATIONS**
On-site estimates range from **$50 to $100**, depending on the location and scope of the project. This fee covers my time, travel, fuel, and professional expertise.
I understand that customers have budgets and may want to compare prices. That's completely reasonable. However, detailed measurements, material calculations, construction recommendations, and project planning require valuable time and knowledge gained through decades of experience.
Please understand that my professional expertise is not a free service intended to help someone else underbid my work.
**SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY**
If you plan on “completing the project yourself” please be upfront about that from the beginning.
I'm happy to discuss potential work, but I ask that you respect my time rather than requesting detailed estimates, advice, or project planning without a genuine intention of considering my services.
My time is just as valuable as yours.
**LABOR, MATERIALS & PRICING**
My pricing reflects much more than the physical labor involved. It accounts for:
* 24+ years of professional experience
* Knowledge, craftsmanship, and problem-solving
* Professional tools and equipment
* Time spent planning and preparing
* Transportation, fuel, and travel
* Material sourcing, purchasing, and handling
* Physical labor and job-site responsibilities
* Quality workmanship and attention to detail
**Materials are not included in labor pricing unless specifically stated in the estimate.** Material costs and any necessary purchases will be discussed before work begins.
I provide fair estimates based on the actual work involved, not simply the number of hours someone assumes a project should take. Experience allows me to work efficiently, and that efficiency should not diminish the value of my work.
**PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION**
When contacting me regarding a job, please communicate in a professional and respectful manner.
I appreciate friendly conversation, but please avoid dismissive responses, excessive slang, "LOL," or silly emojis when discussing estimates, scheduling, or business arrangements.
I'm running a professional service, and I take my work seriously. Clear communication and mutual respect help avoid misunderstandings and wasted time for everyone involved.
**MUTUAL RESPECT**
I respect my customers' homes, property, schedules, and budgets. In return, I ask that my experience, time, labor, tools, materials, and professional knowledge receive the same respect.
I'm not interested in competing with someone willing to cut corners or undervalue skilled labor. I'm interested in working with people who appreciate quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and a job done properly.
I welcome small jobs just as much as larger projects, provided expectations are clear and everyone involved treats the arrangement professionally.
Thank you for respecting the value of skilled trades and the people who dedicate their lives to them.
