For most jobs, I will come to your
house to see what needs to be done and then send you a written
quote. I usually schedule these appointments early morning
(8:00/8:30) before I start my workday somewhere else, or
late afternoon/early evening (4:30-6:00ish).
The quote will have a list of what the job includes...
For
example: |
approximate size of job |
|
what materials will be used |
|
what the job entails |
|
garbage disposal |
The
quote will often have a list of what is not included, if
required...
For
example: |
does not include painting
|
|
if an electrician is required
there will be an additional charge
|
The quote will also list deposit
and payment requirements...
For
example: |
A 50% deposit is required with the balance due on
delivery
|
or |
A 35% deposit is required, 35% at the end of the first
week and balance due on completion of the job.
|
Once the client has agreed to the
quote we will set a start date for the work to be done and
I will get the deposit.
When I do the smaller "handyman"
jobs, I usually work on an hourly rate, plus GST, with a
three-hour minimum. I try to schedule these in between my
larger jobs.
