Consultation/Estimate Rates

We base our rates on the travel time involved in getting to & from our office in Hamden, Connecticut to your location and the fuel costs associated with this travel. However, with the ever rising cost of fuel, these prices are subject to change with-out notice. All fees are to be paid at the time of the consultation. We accept cash, check, or charge cards.

If we are giving you an estimate, it will be based upon actual unit costs, not where you live! We know what it costs and what a reasonable profit should be for our work. The unit cost of our work is the same for all of our customers. (IE: A project in Fairfield will cost the same the identical project in New Haven. We only add fees for travel costs)

Note: If you know exactly what you want and are just looking for a price/estimate, we do not need to send a professional expert. We can send an estimator and there is no fee. Often, we can quote you right over the phone. But, many times, we can find a better cost-effective solution that only a professional expert can give and for this money saving information, we do charge our fee.
