How and Why We Do Estimates... And How it Saves You Money
Most contractors offer "free" estimates. But are they truly free?
At Salisbury Handyman, we've developed our own estimating process designed to keep our prices low and provide you with a flat rate for your project. Because we specialize in the smaller jobs that many contractors won't even bother with, we've found that a virtual estimating process is the best way to save you time and provide the top-notch service you deserve.
Why Virtual Estimates Work Best for Everyone
Think about what an onsite estimate really involves for a contractor. It means stopping the paid work they're currently doing, spending time and gas driving to your site, measuring things, taking notes, driving back, and then finally compiling the estimate. All of that time and cost has to be recovered somehow—and it usually ends up being passed back to the customer, either directly or indirectly.
We offer a better solution!
Our estimate process starts with scheduling a quick Google Meet video call with you. This allows you to schedule a time that works perfectly for your busy life. During this call, we'll discuss your project, and you can simply show us the work you need done.
We pride ourselves on creating a custom job for you. For example, if you have a drywall hole, we can discuss whether you want us to do a complete, seamless repair (patch, prime, and paint) or if you’d prefer to save a little money and paint it yourself. We’ll discuss the specifics of what you want to achieve.
Our Flat-Rate Pricing Explained
Once we know exactly what you need, we determine the price using a system similar to what a reliable auto mechanic uses. We base our project pricing on national standard times for tasks. This means that a standard task, like installing a ceiling fan or replacing a faucet, has a set amount of time allocated to it. We then add in the cost of materials.
This approach ensures a fair, flat rate for everyone, providing consistency and transparency. You know the price upfront before any work even starts.
What Happens if the Job is More Complex?
We know that sometimes a virtual estimate can only tell us so much. While we do our best to be as accurate as possible, sometimes we only discover the full scope of a project once we arrive on site and start looking closely.
Things like an old code violation, hidden mold behind a wall, or water damage to a sub-floor (when you thought you just needed new tile) can’t be seen on a video call. These unexpected issues require extra time, materials, and specialized knowledge that isn't included in the original estimate.
If we arrive and find that an unseen issue will cause the price to be significantly out of line with the original estimate, we will stop immediately. We will contact you, explain exactly what we've found, and provide a revised quote for your approval before we proceed with any work. This way, you’re always in control, and there are no unwelcome billing surprises at the end of the project.
Our goal is to be your trusted partner for all your small project needs. We believe our virtual estimating process gives you the best combination of competitive pricing, convenience, and honesty.
