At our first meeting, Allen will ask you a number of questions relating to your family, your\u00a0 project, and your vision for the space (your needs, desires, and expectations).\u00a0 These are important questions, because we aren’t selling our products or our ideas – this is your project.\u00a0 Every home and family is different.\u00a0 We will give you our ideas and input, but the goal is to bring out your ideas.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What Is My Budget?”]<\/p>\n
We will ask you about your budget for the project.\u00a0 It is important that we have an honest discussion about how much you are willing to invest in the project.\u00a0 Obviously, the scope of the finished project will e dependent upon what you choose to spend.\u00a0 Allen will help you sort out the best value for the space.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How Much Will It Cost?”]<\/p>\n
There are many variables on the cost of any project, depending upon your materials choices.\u00a0 We will take detailed notes, take a series of photographs, and may take detailed measurements of the project area.\u00a0 Allen will prepare a detailed written estimate for your review.\u00a0 Once you receive the estimate, we can re-evaluate specific materials choices and adjust the project as needed or desired.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Should I Ask For An Estimate?”]<\/p>\n
Because you can trust us to be honest and fair in all our relationships, hiring us to work at an hourly rate will usually prove to save you money.\u00a0 Our hourly rate pays not just for a “handyman” but for a skilled team of craftsmen who use their insight and experience to get the job done efficiently, effectively, and with quality results.\u00a0 Because an estimate takes time to develop and must assume potential unseen issues, an estimate is likely to cost a little more.\u00a0 Keep in mind that some contractors provide intentionally “under-bid” their estimate but include the fine print that allows them to charge for things that may “come up.”\u00a0 That’s not the way we do business.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How Do I Compare Bids?”]<\/p>\n
If you choose to get competitive bids, you must remember that all bids are not created equally.\u00a0 Often the lowest bid will prove to cost you far more in the long run.\u00a0 If a contractor doesn’t provide you with a detailed bid, you have no way to know whether inferior products or incomplete work will be performed.\u00a0\u00a0 The details many bids “leave out” can be significant.\u00a0 Smith Home Improvements offers a free bid review service to compare line by line the differences between all the bids you receive.\u00a0 If someone else can do the same work more cheaply, we’ll tell you so.<\/p>\n
