How I work your project.

When you choose to work with me, here's what you can expect:

  1. On-Site Visit: I’ll visit your location to assess the project. During this visit, I’ll take measurements, discuss your vision, and provide a rough estimate of the cost and time required.

  2. Design & Planning: After our initial meeting, I’ll work on designing your project to bring your vision to life. Once the design is finalized, I’ll provide you with an official quote and a more accurate timeline for completion.

  3. Deposit & Payment: To get started, a 50% deposit of the total job cost is required. The remaining balance is due upon the completion of the project.

  4. Handyman Services: For smaller tasks, my handyman services typically average $75.00 per hour, though the final rate depends on the specifics of the job.

Throughout the process, my focus is on delivering high-quality work and ensuring that every project meets the highest standards. I’m committed to providing reliable and professional service, with a dedication to getting the job done right.
