What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My estimates are quality insured and based on many factors. These are set so that the client and myself can come to an understanding of what will be done and for what reason! I make sure to include state and local taxes, materials, and labor pay into the quote. The price is set at the lowest possible for the most affordable price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A typical working process would be to go over the project details. If it’s a 1 days job, just a quick talk over process of what needs to be done and in how ever amount of time. If it is a construction build or labor intensive work, I will need to see the area being worked on via: Pictures or in person. I will write up a plan based on what the job will be entailing after speaking with the client. I will write the total estimate/quote; including materials, labor, a daily weighted agenda, with tax local and state taxes included. I work efficiently & efficiently with aloha, so you don’t have to.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been trained in carpentry, plumbing, masonry, and handyman work. By both members of my family and wise teachers of Hawai’i. I come from a prestigious school originating in a qualified state, instilled with the integrity and grit to finish any job with aloha.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been in a family trade businesses for about 7+ years. Since I could hold a hammer I would help out on the work site, ranch, back yard, or home. I was raised by hard workers, It’s only natural that I’d be drawn to this type of work. It’s about spreading aloha through giving great service.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with couples from all over the world. I’ve worked with people from Australia, New Zeland, Big island of course, and outer islanders. From young couples, to senior veterans, I welcome and look forward to meeting all you are willing to hire me. I work well with people from all walks of life. Easy going, patient, and quiet is what I offer and what most customers enjoy. I look forward to meeting new people and helping all that I can. Aloha!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I currently have done projects ranging from houses, to cabins, to driveways, to foundations and more. I work both with building houses, construction, home repairs, and more! Projects range in time depending on size, material availability, and the nature of the work. An estimated 3-4 days for a medium sized project.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
If I were to give you some advice, look for someone who is hardworking, vigilant and reliable. Someone who can work with persistence in a timely manner to accomplish a task.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Come up with an idea of your budget for the project and some references of what you would like the end product to be. Some simple pictures, photos, or drawings will work well. I work fast, reliable, and flexible. I am able to take an idea and create a reality. Given and taught the ability to repair with aloha, hoping to help the people of Hawai’i.
