I do not give free estimates. My time is valuable, and I am not interested in competing with other contractors to win the lowest bid. I will arrive ready-to-work, and tell you what I think the project might cost. I understand that, as a homeowner hiring a contractor for services, that you want to know the cost upfront. It makes sense for larger jobs, such as bathroom remodeling. Multi-day or multi-week projects, let’s say. But for handyman work estimates don’t make sense. I can come and fix your house, if you like. It will cost you 65 dollars an hour, and you’ll most likely be happy with the outcome; Almost all of my customers have been.
(That being said, I DO give estimates. For larger jobs. I include my time estimating in the estimate (just like a lawyer). I use $65/hr.)
