yes, we provide up to two free consultations, either on-site or remote. the first on-site consultation involves a walk-through, discussion, measurements, and possibly immediate pricing or an estimate. a second consultation is free if scheduled within 10 days of the first, with all title holders present.

this ensures clear and accurate communication with all parties involved in a potential legal transaction. we understand coordinating schedules can be challenging, but accurate information sharing is crucial for us. there’s rarely a job, big or small, that doesn’t require the direct input of all property owners, whether it’s about the job itself or the crews behind it.

additional consultations cost $250 for on-site and $150 for remote. such fees may be reimbursed later as a credit against the job cost at the project manager’s discretion.

1 to 2 hrs. your meeting length will vary based on project size and how many questions you have. hiring a contractor is an important decision, so we request that whatever time you book is 100% comfortable for you. if timing doesn’t work for one title holder, note that we may be available for evening meetings and can zoom as needed together.

for single-trade jobs and with accurate information provided, we can offer a cost range remotely. new constructions, specialty remodels, and projects involving multiple trades may necessitate (complimentary) on-site evaluations to provide a fully accurate estimate.

up to 10 days, typically. while in the past we could offer up to 30 days to consider jobs, assume it is 10 days due to ongoing nationwide material shortages and international supply chain issues. we experience ongoing changing hard costs and wish to honor all of our estimated cost ranges or written bids at the time of submission. if you’re looking to schedule a consultation for a job many months in advance, we request that you book us when you are closer to starting to ensure accurate pricing and crew availability. there may be exceptions, but do not assume it’s guaranteed.

it depends on the situation. send us as much detail as you can, and if we can help you out, we'll reach out!
