A note
about our bids…
Our
main concerns are: Quality & Customer Satisfaction.
Many
companies will strive to give you the lowest bid, and then hurry through your
job so they can move on to the next one.
We don’t play the pricing game.
We seek chiefly to provide you with quality work that meets or exceeds
your expectations. You know the saying
“If a job is worth doing- it’s worth doing right.” That is more than a cliché to us- it’s the
way we do business. We know that you are proud of your home or business, and we
are proud to be a part of improving it.
Rest assured that we are a fully insured legal
business.
We will not be gone tomorrow when you need us.
You are our livelihood, and we treat your property with respect.
We strive to minimize disruption to your daily life.
We clean up after ourselves.
If we make a mistake- we fix it.
We want to make you happy so that you will call us again.
A little fine print…
Ø
All prices reflect a
cash/check discount. Some contracts may
be subject to a slightly higher rate when using another form of payment.
Ø
All spot painting,
wood, tile and drywall patches, and many other jobs where new materials are
matched to existing materials are done on a best-effort basis. Even a perfect match may stand out when done
only in a small area. The alternative is
to replace or repaint the entire matching area, which you may or may not deem
cost effective.
Ø
Bids do not include
unforeseeable labor which occasionally occurs, e.g. rotted studs behind a wall,
disintegrated sub flooring, corroded pipes or wires, etc. Such occurrences will incur additional
charges over and above the contracted amount.
Ø
Unless otherwise
noted, other professionals’ fees (e.g. for plumbing & electrical work) are estimated. Every effort is made to give you a fair idea
of these charges, but if unforeseen charges do occur, they are the
responsibility of the customer. If you
prefer, we can schedule a time for a measurement with these contractors so that
they may give you a firm bid.
Ø
If supplied, costs for
materials are arbitrary. Customers may,
at their discretion, purchase or authorize more or less expensive substitute
items.
Ø
Many kinds of
installations (e.g. flooring or countertops) will incur the need for touch-up
painting or other minor corrections. The
basic installation price does not include materials or labor for such painting
or corrections.
Ø
If a
customer-initiated change or necessary unforeseen additional labor incurs
additional trips (i.e. for more materials, etc.), additional trip charges will
apply.
Ø
All agreements-
written or verbal- are subject to our standard General Provisions, which are available upon request and are
provided on the reverse side of our proposals.
These provisions are also posted on our web site.
Please note:
Our
orders are scheduled on a FIRST SIGNED, FIRST SERVED basis. Our availability (the time it takes before we
can begin work on your project) may vary noticeably from day to day. You may not want to wait until the last
minute to accept our bid if you are on a schedule.
