Introduction

My name is Bill. I’m a 3rd generation contractor and have been doing this for over 25 years. Since I opened Emally’s Construction I have been driven by the knowledge and principles passed down to me by my father and grandfather. Even though the products and technology have changed over the years, the people haven’t. Homeowners still want an honest company that does quality work for a reasonable price. This is what we pride ourselves on. If you call for an estimate I'm the person you'll talk to. You get me every time. I have a full crew of talented people that have been with me for years. What I don’t have is a salesman. At no point do I want to sell you anything. It’s my job to inform you and arm you with knowledge so that you can make the proper decision that’s best for you. This is an “old school” idea that I believe is missing in today’s construction world. This means no empty promises. We put a plan together and I make sure it happens the way it’s supposed to. I know I’m being hired for my skill and knowledge and it’s my reputation on the line. Which is why we take every job very serious. I personally handle any issues a homeowner might have. Whether its a leak that needs to be fixed, a project alteration, or a schedule change so we don’t wake up a napping baby, it's me you get. I know how stressful it can be to do a home project and I never forget that. I do my very best to keep the project running smoothly. I pride myself on the trust my customers put in me. I never forget it’s people like you that keep me in business doing what I love to do. Seeing my customers get excited when they see their vision completed.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

The best way I can put it is, "we're the cheapest guys that do it right" We don't cut corners just to save a dollar and we don't add things that aren't necessary. We use quality materials from reputable suppliers. I do my best to provide options to get it done right while still staying within your budget.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Cost is always front and center for any homeowner. So, our first visit will be the free estimate. During this visit we discuss the project and the best option for the house and your budget. Once those things are agreed upon, we write up the contract that includes everything we discussed. Then we schedule a start date and get to work.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have over 25 years of experience. I'm a licensed general contractor. I've studied and worked on the entire home structure. I keep up on all current building codes through continuing education every year. I've also completed thousands of projects on a home top to bottom.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Over 25 years ago I was on a job with my grandfather. Because I was the only one small enough to get through a 1' x 1' vent hole (roof vent), he said "put the kid through the vent hole". That day I insulated my first attic and got paid 50 bucks. I was hooked ever since :P

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

The last job we did was for a young couple who needed a bathroom in a finished attic space. They wanted to make the upstairs a big master suite. They were told by 4 different contractors during the bidding process that it was impossible without installing a dormer addition into the roof and if they didn't do that they would have a bathroom where you could sit on the toilet and brush your teeth because the sink would be on your lap. Of course they said this would cost them at least $30,000. This couple didn't have any idea who I was. They had my number but couldn't remember where they got it from. They called me by chance and I asked them to trust me and i'd get them a real bathroom. I took the job very personal because I knew it could be done. In 4 weeks we tore out their chimney and rerouted their entire furnace and sewer system. We Installed a new toilet, 24" sink (more than 4 feet apart. No sitting on the toilet to brush their teeth. lol) and a stand up tiled shower bigger than the 36" plastic ones. And we did it for less than $20,000. They got a real bathroom and I saved them over $10,000. Those are the jobs I love :)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask questions and wait for the contractor's answers. Don't assume they know. They should be knowledgeable about the project and construction in general. Don't allow shortcuts. We get paid to work on your house. The difference between a do it yourself-er and a professional is we identify problems not only current but future. If a guy is saying he doesn't have to do something while he's bidding on a job, what is he gonna hide when you're not looking. Basically find someone you can trust. Someone who is willing to answer all your questions. Someone you can work with, it's worth it. Don't choose on price alone.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

A good question for a customer to know is if there main goal is a short term fix to be more cost effective or a long term solution that takes more of a commitment.
