Quite often, yes. If you’re a “do-it-yourselfer” but know your limits, quite often there are steps that can be taken to prep the job prior to our arrival or even finish it up after the big things are done. (I.e. carpets pulled up, pre-priming wood, etc…)

We can take care of it all through our network of licensed plumbers and electricians who we have working relationships with.  No one without a plumbing or electrical license should ever “do it all” despite their abilities, without a license, they’re not insured for the work they’re doing, and you won’t be either if something goes wrong and your insurance company finds out you hired an un-insured individual.

Depending on the project to be done we will either provide you with a firm proposal price or an estimated cost of time and materials to do the job. Some jobs are straight forward and are easier done at a fixed price, others, like handy man work (sticking doors, replacing a couple of steps, fixing a cabinet hinge, etc) are easier to bill by the hour. Call for an estimate and we’ll discuss the options.

Yes, if you’re looking at an oak tree in your living room we will get over there ASAP to weather tight the house and keep the elements out until full repairs can be completed either by us or someone else.

Pricing on a job is generally related to the quality of the work, the materials used, the attention to detail and the thoroughness of the job done.  We are always happy to go over our estimates with you and discuss the details of it, and/or compare it to any others that you may have.
