Pricing

The single most difficult thing to navigate in any home improvement project is the cost. It is no secret that construction and home improvement projects can be costly! When a customer a project, many find it difficult to even get a preliminary idea of how much the project will cost based on answers from the internet. This page lists many common household projects and how much I charge for them. I find that this helps customers get an idea of cost before I even look at the project!

These prices can be subject to change if an unforeseen issue arises during the project.
