FAQ
What type of work do you do?
I am qualified and experienced in almost all areas of residential construction. From foundations and framing through to paint and trim. Any major electrical or plumbing work I contract out to qualified contractors.
What are your qualifications?
I have Diploma in Wood Processing and Engineering Technology as well as extensive hours in the field in skilled labour and project management on numerous home renovations. I have worked with and learned from journeymen in many trades. I also have extensive knowledge on a great many building products and their proper use.
How much will this cost?
The cost of your renovation will depend on a great many factors. To provide an accurate quote I need to see the job and asses all the factors. I provide a detailed quote that breaks down the costs so that you can see exactly what each part of the renovation costs.
Will there be any hidden costs or extras?
I try to be as thorough as possible when assessing the job and providing a quote. There are things unseen that can come up in renovations. In those instances, I will immediately let the client know and explain options and the cost before continuing any work. Beyond that, I stand by my quotes and will not bill extra because I made a mistake on the quote.
What are the payment options and is there a deposit required?
I accept all forms of payment, including Interac and all major credit cards. Payment schedules depend on the size of a job. For a small job of a few days to a week, I typically require a 50% deposit with remainder due on completion. For larger jobs, I can arrange a payment schedule that suits your needs. If permits and drawings are required, then I will bill a $1500 fee for this service.
How long will it take?
Duration will depend on the job. At the time of the estimate I can tell you the time frame the job will likely take and approximately when I will be available to begin.
