FAQ - ANSWERS
Yes, estimates are free.
At this time we do not offer appointments during weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and major holidays (Independence day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and other holidays -please check in Google for any dates when we might be closed).
Depending on the job, we charge by the hour or by the job. Eli would assess that when he learns about the projects that you want him to work on.
In some cases we prefer that you purchase some of the items needed for a job. Items such as light fixtures, faucets, toilets, shelves, ceiling fans, tile, laminate flooring, and others that are to our customer’s liking or preference. Other items such as drywall (and other pertinent materials related to drywall repairs), wires, cables, junction boxes, and other specific parts for repairs are better purchased by us, so that we get the correct ones. Although in some instances we can give our customers a „shopping list” to allow them to purchase all the materials and parts. We offer delivery services for items needed to complete projects (for a small fee). Also, any items we purchase will be marked up 35-50% (most companies markup 200-300%) to make up for taxes and delivery, and that is why we also prefer that customers purchase the higher ticket items such as doors, windows, paint (in large quantities), so that they can save money.
Cash and check are preferred methods of payment, but we do accept credit or debit cards (3% card processing fee added fo rjobs over $500), or direct ACH deposits.
Unfortunately payment for services rendered is due upon receipt of the final invoice. We do not accept NET15, 30, or 45, and any unpaid invoices after 30 days will receive a 15% late fee (and every 30 days after that), besides any credit or debit card processing fees added to the final bill.
It is not absolutely necessary, but we prefer to have someone at the home that is at least 18 years old. You may arrange for us to gain access to your property and to lock it after we leave. If you are out-of-state, we can provide pictures of the finish job that would be emailed along with the invoice. We treat your home with the utmost respect and care. The only thing we want to be sure about is that you leave arrangements for payment, if you are paying by check, or we can email you an invoice (due upon receipt) once the office receives the information from the handyman.
You may schedule an appointment with us by either calling us or emailing us. We usually have availability within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the season. At this time it is only Eli, so we ask you to understand if we have to push your appointment until he is available. We schedule jobs to be done Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm (if it is a small job, we would schedule no later than 3 pm – if it is a larger job, we would not schedule after 2 pm). We DO NOT schedule afterhours (between 5 pm and 7 am) or during the weekends.
